Oh, me too. I am a sobbing idiot during movies- don't even get me started there.

Stephanie, The Lovely Bones is one of my alltime favorite books. A couple of years after I'd read it, I listened to it on CD on a roadtrip to Atlanta. SUCH a good book. I've not gotten to the Secret Life of Bees, but I've heard that's a great book as well.

Me too. See earlier post regarding the world's largest hickey.

And darling, I didn't mean to forget you earlier when talking about the history of the Ledge!!

We have much in common, Wifey.

And no worries... I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to tease you about forgetting your own husband.

The end of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Dorky, but true.

I usually get a little teary during Lord of the Rings too, even though I've read it more times than I care to admit.

No, but I confuse Pablo Casals with Rosie Casals. I have a mental picture of Pablo Casals from album covers, but I have to yank the tennis racquet out of his hand and replace it with a bow every time I hear his name.

Oh yes, I have cried many times reading, but the most recent book that made me cry was "The House of Mirth".

Ditto to the above. I couldn't help it, lol. I just get into those books so damn easy.

"The Notebook"

The first book that I cried while reading it. The Altzheimer's issue really got to me because my grandmother was suffering from it at the time.

[golddustwoman77]

I cry every year at the end of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I have my students do a novel study on it. Even though, I know how it ends; it still makes me cry. It is my favorite children's novel.

Also, The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy made me cry. I think it hit a little too close to home for me. The movie doesn't do this book justice. It is one of my favorites.

I cry all the time reading books. i cried at 'The Notebook', and also 'The Four People You Meet in Heaven' (isn't that the title? maybe it was five people? ) and most recently I sobbed at the end of 'The Last Summer.'

I'm reading The Lovely Bones right now. It's so good. I haven't cried yet, though. I don't usually cry while reading books.

I had to read Bridge to Terabithia in fifth grade. All the books that were assigned that year were about death.

Was that the "Where the Red Fern Grows" year, too? Man, that book is sad. Cause it's a dog.

[GypsySorcerer]

Yep, I cried while reading Where the Red Fern Grows. I also cried reading The Scarlet Letter in high school because of the way Pearl and Hester were treated. Wit (a play) made me bawl my eyes out.
