Favorite scene! Arrgh! They're all so good.
Best I can do is to refer to my entries on "Recommend a Good Book" and cheat by saying that, the reasons that I recommended Zelazney was because every scene in <i>Lord of Light</i> is my favorite. Honest to god, the whole book is about powerful scenes. That's how it's written.
<i>Dune</i> only has a couple that rate: The post Gom Jabbar scene ("No, they tried and died."), Alia bantering with the Emperor. The opening Essay and the very last scene in <i>Small Gods</i>. Last scene in <i>Watership Down</i> always brings a tear to my eye.
There are a half dozen or so masterclass scenes throughout the Vlad Taltos books.
OK, I've well overrun my mandate. Sorry.
