Hello everyone, I am a huge fan of Tolkien's vast work (ever since first reading the Silmarillion years ago); and I hope to engage in some interesting discussions here.
Oh by the way, is it only possible to be an Elf of the third age? (Not sure how the whole thing works)

Thank you for your warm welcome, and for answering my question. Now, to answer your questions:
I have to say that my favorite of all the characters Tolkien created is Samwise Gamgee; I've grown to love him more and more each time I've read LotR. He was truly the "everyman" of the story in my opinion. And as for my favorite of Tolkien's works, (and it is very hard to narrow it down to one I must say) I especially love The Two Towers. (Samwise had some outstanding dialogue in that particular chapter of LotR; Tolkien truly was a master story-teller.)
P.S. Thanks again for taking the time to welcome me.
