Great topic, Kransha!
This is going to sound rather bizarre, but the more detailed a description is, the harder it is for me to picture it in my mind the first time around. After a few reads then I can get a decent image, but even then it's a little fuzzy. But today during the 41-minute period of bliss that is study hall, I was reading Lost Tales II: Turambar and the Foaloke, and everything was described so vaguely that I could suddenly see poor little Turin crying for his mother and orcs attacking, and I had pretty vivid images of the characters in my mind even though they weren't described much more than being "strong" or "great."
