Little girl in the trailer park...was definitely worth the read.

I think I bought it... I can't remember where I put it. I got to the part where the girl was being attacked by the snake, I think. It seemed very good.

Four Lucky Spades

The Forgotten Soldier, a true memoir by Guy Sager of his action in the russian front as a German Soldier. I found it at the bottom pile of the library that not a bunch of people knew about.

Couple of tears started flowing when...: Spoiler:







He find out when he finally gets pulled out of Russia whilst retreating that the factory his lover (or gf simpler) worked in was bombed and destroyed, but never knew if she survived or not, (probably didn't) and how he never was able to tell her something about marrying her or simply loving her alot, i forget which, it was a long time ago.

Anyways, a good read, especially for a true memoir.

i generally don't cry in books, but this one bought tears to my eyes:

"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak

I feel a little embarassed saying so, but in Memoirs of a Geisha when Chiyo first meets the Chairman I cried and couldn't understand why. After finishing the book I figured it out.

Oh don't feel bad, I cried too. Very good book, movie was disappointing though...

Fantastic book. It was art. The film was close to trash, though. I remember stealing a book in a laundromat whilst reading memoirs.

This is probably telling too much about my twisted outlook on life, but the only character's death that has ever produced a true tear from me is Oy from The Dark Tower. And in my heart of hearts, I just know that King saved him for last just to hurt me.

I also use to choke up at Snoopy, Come Home, hehe. When Charlie Brown just silently hands him the bone as a going away present...

Robin Hobb (closing in to the end of Fool's Fate, and the Fool's poem to FitzChivalry, sheesh) and Stephen King (seventh book of the Dark Tower was pretty friggin' sad when you think about it, the end even more so than the rest). Anyway, IrishLad, I didn't cry at his death or the death of those other characters because someone spoiled it for me ahead of time, which was incredibly lame.

Robin Hobb had more of an impact, though. My body's strange in the way a random tear will leak out of my eye even though it has no noticeable mental impact. I'm not alone in this, but it's still strange, especially when a tear leaks out and nothing's happening.

- looks back at kerr511 in the first page. - Damn you! The death of Nighteyes didn't make me tear because, surprise surprise, someone spoiled it for me. I was looking to find a plot synopsis and someone wrote NIGHTEYES DIES SAVING HIM at the very top in bold. Good times. That series was pretty traumatic---and Robin Hobb is absolute shit at endings.

Holy hell, I cired too... that, and Eddie and Jake meeting Odetta in the other world. That was a tearjerker.

I don't often cry reading books, but I do believe I shed a few tears reading two particular scenes from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. The books were Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. That Jamie Fraser feels like a flesh and blood man to me. Diana makes him feel so real.

Can't believe no one has said Where the Red Fern Grows. Didn't you people read that in second grade?

...yes, Old Yeller got me, too.

It's different when an animal buys the farm. Don't ask me why; I'm not normally the tree-hugger/animal rights type.

A short story, "Ashes," from David Sedaris's book "Naked." Great collection of short stories, standard brilliant faire from Sedaris. Usuaully though the subject matter's pretty humorous, but the ending of "Ashes" came out of nowhere and just hit me like a ton of bricks...
