Do you have Blondie's Eat To the Beat album? She sings back-up on some songs.

Deerskin by Robin McKinley. That's the most recent I can remember.
About 65% of books I read are mysteries - those aren't really sad.

I got moved by many books, even if not as often as when I was a child (especially for The Diary of Anne Frank). More recently it happened for A grief observed by C.S Lewis, Don't move by Margaret Mazzantini and The Human Stain by Philip Roth.

Watership Down choked me up...

I did too! I cried all through the final three chapters I think. My husband came in the room and looked at me like, "Oh come ON!"

I once cried while reading a statistics book, because I realized the only way I was going to pass the class was if the professor graded on the curve.

Oh I can relate to that. I'm so looking forward to Statistics again when I go to graduate school.

The only time I can recall crying while reading was when I read The Perks of Being A Wallflower, last year.

Now, movies? I cry at almost all of them.

I love Neruda, too.
