Some titles I have cried while reading is Rapunzel's Revenge, Charlotte's Rose, The Graveyard Book (which really creeped me out - I had to go check my baby). There is some switch that got flipped when I had kids and the floodgates are on.

I am not a very emotive person in public; I keep my emotions close to my vest. But when I read, I feel safe enough to express myself in ways I am unable to do around others. I think that's part of the reason I like books with high emotional levels. I see them as an emotional outlet. I am definitely a crier when it comes to books.

I can only think of three books I have read in my life that made me cry. Scratch that. Four. But it's always because of animals dying, like Dewey and Marley. The only person I cried over was Timothy in The Cay, but that was years ago, so maybe I've grown up a bit... Oh goodness. I can only think of three books I have read in my life that made me cry.

Goodness gracious. I always get a little irked when people tell me they don't comment on my site because I already have so many comments, but now I know what they mean!! :P But, I'm leaving my comment anyway (just not subscribing to follow ups...sorry): Interesting thought about purposely distancing yourself from books you know will be emotionally draining. I’m a big crier when watching movies (and yes some commercials), but I’ve noticed lately it takes a little more for me to get weepy with books. I cried at the end of Boy’s Life earlier this month, but I think it was partially because I was so sad it was over! :P Go read The Notebook by Sparks—that will make you cry for sure! 80 comments.

I literally bawled. I am not a big crier either, but I read Laika, about the first dog sent into space (1-way mission) and it just tugged my heartstrings so much! I literally bawled.

I emotionally connected with this book having worked with Street Kids in Honduras and as I finished it last night, the tears rolled.
