i know what you mean, i have some similar experiences when reading those books especially the Hobbit!
like when it is told how indecent it is to start a journey without a handkerchief i can't help myself bursting into laughter. but when i try to explane it to someone i make the whole thing sound silly and boring. maybe it works only if you read or is it just our twisted sence of humour?!?
