The one that i have read dozens of times, and i always am trembling in the final scenes with Little Anne and Old Dan
"Where the Red Fern Grows"
Great book.

Ditto. I was thinking of that as soon as I read the subject of your post.

[istewart]

The DaVinci Code.

Yet I didn't really read it. I cry because it's such an overyhyped piece of trash for people who love books you buy at CVS with Fabio on the cover.

Same, and probably only because it reminds me of the pets I've had who have died. Who knows?

I don't know if I cried, but Flowers for Algernon always left a deep impression on me, but it's been 20 years since I read it.

[tolbiny]

Then how come i haven't seen you post it in one of the "books you should read" threads?
(i'll get it from the library tomorrow)

[CCass]

Tuesday's With Morrie

Charlie Kaufman: The script I'm starting, it's about flowers. No one's ever done a movie about flowers before. So there are no guidelines...
Donald Kaufman: What about "Flowers for Algernon"?
Charlie Kaufman: Well, that's not about flowers. And it's not a movie.
Donald Kaufman: Ok, I'm sorry, I never saw it.

Because I haven't read any of those threads?

I probably should get it too, see if my book opinions from 7th grade are similar to what my opinions are today.

[tolbiny]

"see if my book opinions from 7th grade is similar to what my opinions are today"

Well you still write like a 7th grader. Zing!

When's your poker book coming out Clark?
Will it have those neat pictures that pop up?

[tdarko]

didnt make me cry (not that i dont) but these made an impression on me: last exit to brooklyn by hubert selby jr, junky by william s burroughs, less than zero by brett easton ellis, the bell jar by sylvia plath. i am sure there are tons more but these were just off the top of my head.

[pc in NM]

The Brothers K - David James Duncan

Family, baseball, fishing.... Great book!!!

[tolbiny]

My apologies clark
totally uncalled for.

[nothumb]

"Howl"

Still gets me every time.

NT

[Clarkmeister]

Didn't think there was anything to apologize for. Still don't.

[Jack of Arcades]

It should be. It's an amazing book.

[tolbiny]

I wouldn't have apoligized if it had actually been funny. More apoligizing for the waste of time /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Ender's Game.

[theBruiser500]

Um, great book but again where did it make you cry??

[Arm187r]

Glad i'm not the only guy on this list. /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/frown.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[AEKDBet]

Adaptation was a [censored] great movie, and even better script. Flowers for Algernon did get to me, but not as bad as red fern and giving tree.

[Rushmore]

The Moon and Sixpence.

[daveymck]

Didnt make me cry as such, but Lord of The Rings, when Sam finds Frodo and takes up the ring and plans to destroy it himself.

Wasnt really given justice in the film (and didnt really like the actor that played him) and its different when reading the book it takes you x number of months of following the characters to get there.

I mainly read horror (Herbert, Hutson) and fantasy so not really anything to get you going in those.

[Bluffoon]

For whom the bell tolls - Hemmingway.

The end where he makes the girl go and he is waiting to die made me cry.

[turnipmonster]

terabithia made me cry back in the day also. books that have had a really big impact on me are "a farewell to arms", and hubert selby's "song of the silent snow" (actually a short story).

1. When Peter thinks Ender is asleep, Peter tells Ender he loves him. Tear.

2. A few times at Battle School. Especially the reveal at the end. Nope, I didn't see it coming.
