I still cry when I read "Farewell to Lorien", especially when the Fellowship has the impression that it is Lothlorien that is being taken away from them, and not they who are leaving. I also cry at the Argonath, when Aragorn confesses that he misses his home. And, of course, at Boromir's death, and at the distruction of the Ring, and at Aragorn's coronation. Oh, and I also cry at "The Grey Havens". These are but a few scenes, and many others have been already said. There are a lot of moving moments in this book. It would take many days for me to say all of them.
