I'm wondering, as it is co-written with someone else, is it as good as the others? I haven't started to read it yet.

Currently, I'm reading the first volume of the Divine Comedy, and finding it surprisingly enjoyable.

Although we're all Tolkien fans, we might have other books that remain the favourite.

What's yours?

I'd have to say that mine is the Lord of the Rings.

So far, it's quite good. A vampire novel, but as far as I can tell, there are some unique twists. I haven't finished reading it, so I can't add any more about it yet.

On the other hand, he's preserved quite a bit of material from other sources that we no longer have.

So far the only ones I've seen are the one included with the hardcover of David Weber's War of Honor and now the one included with There Will Be Dragons by John Ringo.

It seems to me that there is a lot of duplication between the two cd's although I haven't taken a close look at the second.

One of them is a Pern book cowritten by her son, and the other is the two Ireta books republished under a new title

The interesting thing with the Ireta stories is that they link in with the Planet Pirates trillogy.

I've forgotten the title for the new dragonriders story, but it seems to focus on the watch-whers.

Here's the list I came up with, however it is probably skewed by my reading interests:
The Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley - Mycenaean Greece

The Forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley - Early Roman Britain
The Lady of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - Spanning Roman Britain
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - Britain 450ish

The majority of the essays are discussing the effect that Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings had on these writers and their writng style, but a few of them stand out:

Rythmic Patterns in the Lord of the Rings, by Ursula K. Le Guin.
This essay looks at the patterns of poetry and speech in the Lord of the Rings, right down to the patterns of events.

However, the book is limited to the Lord of the Rings (at least in the essays I have read) and the Hobbit only, which shows in some of the comments made, where the Silm would have added more understanding.

It's a re-telling of the Robin Hood legends. So far it's pretty good (but I've put it aside for "Clothair The Frank" by Jack Whyte).

It's a re-telling of the Trojan War from the perspective of Cassandra.

The names are a bit odd for anyone used to the latinized versions of the Greek names common in textbooks today.
