I could barely see the pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I was crying so much [&:]

I cry every.single.time I read The Little Prince.

I'm sure I've cried when reading other books, but those are the two that stand out.



stellaluna -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 2:13:11 PM)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. [:D] I read it three times and cried every time. What's that about??? [&:]

I have cried during other books, but I'll have to think on that, too. Raspberry asks hard questions. [8D]



Focusing -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 7:18:05 PM)

Yes. Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve. She describes abuse through the eyes of an abused wife, and there were a number of times in the book where she described it so well, as if she had ripped those memories right out of me. It was a very difficult book to read, yet I could not put it down.



sunshine4God -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 9:02:12 PM)

I cried when reading A child called it.I cannot believe how mean some people can be.



ta_mosquito -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 9:07:03 PM)

Uhhh, YEAH! [8|] I can't even begin to name the books I've cried while reading. I cry more readily reading books than in real life, certainly, but I cry even more reading books than watching movies.



AboundinginHisGrace -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 9:44:23 PM)

I cried like a baby when I read the section on God's Love in Knowledge of the Holy.



Rebecca1965 -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 9:57:53 PM)

[:(]I cry when reading books .. that are sad, I cry when I see a movie, I cry when I am angry, which by the way looks really stupid, I cry when I get frustrated ..... and the more I try not to cry the more I cry.... Then I have a terrible headache either the next day or the next.... arggggg..... So why do I have to be so emotional..... ?????? I cry more from movies than with real life.... some times I think it is because I don't know the whole story ... in a book or movie .... It is all laid out for you ... mmm maybe ... you think ????



Auben -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 10:27:13 PM)

Yeah, lots, although less as time goes by.

I cried when Beth died...oh..the first 10 times I read Little Women. I've cried for The Jungle and How Green Was Our Valley.

And several others that escape my mind.



ta_mosquito -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/1/2008 10:31:40 PM)

One memorable experience I had while reading a book and crying was reading "The Notebook." I didn't like the book because of the immorality (sex outside of marriage), so towards the end when it got really emotional, I would want to cry but would be thinking, "No! You can't cry! This is WRONG! They were sinning! You cannot get emotionally involved with characters that go against your morals!" [8|] It gave me a big headache.



Kerrlaw -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 12:19:34 AM)

The only time I specifically remember crying was at the end of The Grapes of Wrath.

I did laugh so hard I cried while reading Fup.



BlessedMamaofmany -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 6:42:44 AM)

oh yes! I cry while reading books so much more so than movies. Books are so much more intimate and intense imo.
My fave that I can think of off hand is "Little Women" When Beth dies,
"And in the arms where she drew her first breath, she quietly drew her last..."
*sigh* gets me every time! And I've read it a million times LOL



Kellgaste -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 8:44:02 AM)

I Cried when I read, "Where the Red Fern Grows", I even cried in a few Sci-Fi Fantasy novels when the Characters are put in a position to choose a course of action and they choose the right one (IMO) which causes them pain and suffering but they end up saving someone or showing someone the right way to do something.

Ok I'm a Sap, but I love a good book and if it has a good Romantic flavor to it that just adds to the Combat, Working together, and making those tough choices...



garsyt -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 11:28:04 AM)

Oh yes! All the time!

There are some children's books that I simply can't get through without crying my eyes out.

Don't get me going on how much I cried during the Deathly Hallows When a certain house elf breathes his last I sobbed for a good long time!

I cried reading Night. So very sad.

There are others but to list them would take me a long time!

Blessings,

Garsy

I remember crying when I read Where the Red Fern Grows.

I cried so hard when reading The Christmas Shoes when the mother was explaining to her son that she was going to die soon. I had to put the book down for awhile because I couldn't even see the pages.

I am sure there were others but those two stick out in my mind.

Edited to add that I cried at the end when I read Marley and Me. Old Yeller was another one. For some reasons books about animals get to me.



ta_mosquito -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 6:03:30 PM)

When I was younger, I cried while reading Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. <sniff sniff>



garsyt -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/2/2008 7:42:12 PM)

Anyone ever try to read the Robert Munsch book Love You Forever? I challenge anyone to try to read that book and not choke up a little bit! I can't read that book without bawling!

Blessings,

Garsy

That story really touched me as well. Anything dealing with animals always tears me up.

Not that I recall. I have cried upon receiving the bill from the bookstore though. Does that count?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Guess that ruins that story.

(Who's Dumbledore?)



Rayoh -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/3/2008 3:29:01 PM)

I sure have. Where the Red Fern Grows, Marley and Me, My Sisters Keeper and some book my youngest was reading for AR. I don't even remember the name of that one now. Had something to do with a boy that was racing his dog in a sled dog race. She was trying to read it out loud to me and couldn't because she kept tearing up, and so I tried to take over, and I couldn't read it out loud because I was to choked up too!

Ok it was bugging me not knowing the name of that last book so I just searched to find out what it was called. It's Stone Fox. Might not be a very well known book but it was a good one.

lexie -> RE: Have you ever cried while reading a book? (10/4/2008 10:50:34 AM)

All the time. I'm a sensitive person!

The first book I remember crying in was The Diary of Anne Frank.

The most recent book I cried during was Left To Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza - the story of a young woman who hid in a tiny bathroom with 6 other women for 3 months during the Rwandan genocide after all of her parents and siblings were killed and who came to God during this time. (I'm tearing up just thinking about it.)
