How about scenes that are so happy that you have trouble describing them? I tried and failed a few times to explain to people why I feel such an adrenaline surge when Rohan comes to Gondor. Reading it out loud, I can get the shivers. "Horns, horns, horns...Rohan had come at last." The impression that made on me in my 1st read has never left me, but I certainly can't describe it to people.
I agree. Unless you are speaking to a fellow fan.
I know the part that gets me every time in the book, and I can't recite it out loud - Théoden and Merry: "As a father you shall be to me!" "For a little while."
And Snowmane's outpacing all the others - love how they show that in the film too, Snowmane right out front. Somehow chokes me up, brave King and his equally brave horse charging into death.
Coming soon!- The first TORn Amateur Symposium, starts Sunday 21st July in the Reading Room. Closing date for essay submission Sunday 14th July, but even if you don't submit, join us for some interesting discussion on some different and personal ways of looking at Tolkien's work.

I think Tolkien said he got emotional about the horns of Rohan, too -
