Your thread about Matilda made me read it. But I didn't cry. I don't think I have EVER cried from a book. Must be 'cause I'm big and manly and macho!

Or maybe you're lacking feelings other human beings were born with.

Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey still makes me cry, even tho I've read it about 50 times

Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse. I cry every time I read it.
Of Human Bondage almost had me going
If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft, and of thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, sell one, and with the dole buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.

Can I join the crying club? I'll cry over anything, even the movie "Born in East L.A., but for the life of me, I'm sitting here and I can't think of a single book that made me cry - I know there had to be a few.

The Old Man And The Sea - Everytime i read it i sob. I find i connect greatly with him during his struggle to bring in the fish. I cant really describe what i mean, but it brings out somethign in me.
Same goes for the Lord Of The Rings books, but in particular parts at the end of The Two Towers. Samwise is such a trooper and i get emotional just reading about his devotion and love for Frodo. My favourite part being at the beginning of "the choices of master samwise" where after kickin Gollum's *** he takes up the sword to go save Frodo from Shelob, the evil spider.
"He sprang forward with a yell, and seized his master's sword in his left hand. Then he charged. No onslaught more fierce was ever seen in the savage world of beasts, where some desperate small creature armed with small teeth, alone, will spring upon a tower of horn and hide that stands above its fallen mate."
I get tingles everytime i read that part.

"Mate." What an apt word.

I've now heard this book mentioned in several circles, and I'm starting to be intrigued... care to elaborate? I'm looking for another book to read, and if I get enough reasons to look into Hesse then I might give him a go...Originally posted by piquant
Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse. I cry every time I read it.
"A good night's sleep is no substitute for caffeine."
When I was 14, I read Hesse's book , named as "Wolf", which means lonesome. I found it terrible and didn't understand anything. And read it only because of my sister praised it very much. She was 19. Perhaps that was not for my age.
My dad made me read Siddhartha when he found a copy at the dump. He's a great big Hesse fan. I liked it all right; it's a quick, easy read. The good thing about it is that it's kind of a parable about this guy's spiritual journey throughout his life, so the amount of value you find in it depends on how much time you feel like spending delving into its philosophical content. Mostly it makes you reflect on your own outlook on life. Pretty good.

Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller.
Told by a fool, signifying nothing.
Expecting Adam. stayed the night with a girlfriend who'd lost her two sons to an accident. and she loaned me this book. was exhausted but didn't nap; needed to study but cleaned and picked up this book. thought i should be reading Hunchback but here i am on page 68 (chapter 8) and will finish it today or tomorrow.
turned on the computer and logged on to say this is the best book i've read in forever.
shh!!!
the air and water have been here a long time, and they are telling stories.
Hmmm... I guess I'm really more inclined to having feelings when watching a movie than reading a book. I didn't cry when I read Old Yeller, but I did when I watched the movie. Same with some horror titles. When I read the books, I'm not too scared, but the movie version always give me the creeps.
You're just another bastard.
