    I am a fixed point right between reality and the impossible.

    I'm made up of three decades, none are my own.

    If I close my eyes for 1 minute I can do absolutely anything. Just try me.

    'Walk Like A Fiery Elephant', Jonathan Coe's superior biography of B.S. Johnson.

    I cried at the predictable parts. Some of the tears were even a little forced.

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Dumbledore's death hit me rather hard.

    Yeah, me too. It was even worse than when Sirius died.

    I was almost crying when I knew Sirius died but the only book that made me cry was La Dame aux Camelias from the son of Alexandre Dumas!

    The ONLY book? Oh no... and I have tears in my eyes with every second book I read

    For me the death of Cedric Diggory was the worst. I knew the lives of both Sirius and Dumbledore were in extreme danger but for Diggory, I had not even the slightest idea that he would die. It was shocking, and hit suddenly.

    There have been many moments where I felt bad the way a story went, and I'm not sure how often I may have cried because of it, but the latest book I can remember crying was Papillon, by Henri Charriere. The part that got me was what happened to Clousiot after being in solitary confinement.
    Another recent book that made me feel bad on the point of tears was The Dogs of War, by Frederick Forsyth. It was the trivial black mole on the back of Cat Shannon's neck that did it for me. It got me because what a fight this guy put up during his life, and this is how it had to end. That made me feel pretty sad.

    I was shocked, too, but since Diggory was never one of my favourite characters, it wasn't as bad as deaths of Sirius and Dumbledore.

    The book that made me cry is actually the Holly Qur'an.

    Two Thomas Hardy books:
    "The Mayor of Casterbridge" (film makes me cry even harder)
    "The Woodlanders"

    Last night I finished:
    "A Prayer for Owen Meany".
    I cried for about the last 50 pages.

    I believe I cried at the end of the novels of:
    "Les Miserables"
    I still cry when I see the stage show on DVD.

    I prefer to save my tears for more realistic things.

    I recently read 'The Lovely Bones' and just couldn't control the tears! It was so moving, it really got to me.

    I don't think any book has torn me apart the way The Pearl by Steinbeck did...
