I loved the Ainulindalë on first reading and still do.
I have thought for at least twenty years that "Túrin" was Tolkien's greatest story and wanted a fuller version. What we eventually got slightly disappointed me, not because it isn't every bit as good as I'd hoped, but because I'd already read pretty much all of it.
I still think the Green Hill of Tuna was one of your finest moments.
