Query: The Hobbit is the best.

Maybe it's just me, but the Lord of the Rings was a long, difficult read. I'm glad I read it, but it has no value in terms of rereading it. Too much background and plot, not enough action. The whole Good-Evil battle and the loss of magic and elves, etc. seems to me to weigh the work down. The Hobbit, on the other hand, is the classic adventure fantasy novel, and is still fresh this day. I enjoy the action without having to worry about the fate of Middle Earth.
