Though I haven't had a specifically magical experience reading Tolkien (however, I have read Tolkien out loud to some before) I remember one day during which I started to re-read some chapters of the Fellowship of the Ring, I got to Lothlorien. That is when I became fully aware of how enchanting Tolkien is. I felt virtually transported to Middle-earth, and I wasn't aware of my surroundings at all. I had Lothlorien in my head. It was a very surreal experience, but it really opened my eyes. Afterwards I had a very different outlook on things, though I couldn't tell how, what, or why. . .
I also loved the time where Lauri went camping with my family and she brought the Sil, she didn't want to read it, however, so I did. I read it out loud to everybody sitting around the campfire. Nobody else enjoyed it, but that didn't matter. I was so peaceful, I remember, because I got to share this book with my best friend and cousins. THey were actually listening to me too!
