When I read it, stunned silence, but no tears.

I was 11, and I remember thinking, that couldn't possibly have just happened. I was completely shocked. Kudos to my Tolkien fanatic mom who never let it slip, so I had no idea it was coming, or that the return was coming later. (Even more impressive given that Gandalf is her favorite character, and it never came up.)
Before kids, exercising with LOTR meant listening to the soundtrack while I ran.
After kids, exercising with LOTR means having an all out dance party with the little ones to the "Break the Dam Release the River" disco mix form the Lego game.

I did cry when I first read the book, many, many years ago.
