'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I get a little sniffly every time I read Beth getting the piano from Mr. Lawrence in Little Women.
Other books that made me sob, although I don't reread them, are My Sister's Keeper, The Time-Traveler's Wife, and The Sweet, Far Thing (although I probably will reread that trilogy at some point). Also cried more than once reading The Hunger Games trilogy.
Watership Down Hazel-rah!
Watership Down Hazel-rah!
Ahhh!! yes.
Though the best moment is when Bigwig drags himself up and says, "My Chief Rabbit told me to stop you here." And the other rabbits go, "Shit! He's *not* the Chief Rabbit??? There's someone *he* takes orders from???"
Oh, Anne of Green Gables is a good one. I don't generally reread things that make me cry.
Possibly Harry Potter.
The Sweet, Far Thing (although I probably will reread that trilogy at some point).
I re-read the trilogy last year and just stopped before the end. Because I knew it would leave me an utter, gibbering mess.
All of those are--you realize there's a whole raft of books I'm never reading again, right? For the crying thing. As well as ones I won't read again because they were awful, and the ones I won't even finish--and that's huge for me, because for many, too many years, if I started it I had to finish it. Till one day I realized I'd never read all the books I wanted to, so why was I reading stuff unworthy of my time? I still feel guilty rereading favorites--time! Time I should spend on reading new stuff! But comfort reading is important, so I still do reread.
ANYway. Erin, Pawn in Frankincense is the fourth volume in Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles.
Oh god, I forgot Harry Potter. Sobbed at the end of both six and seven.
Because I knew it would leave me an utter, gibbering mess.
Yeah, that's my fear. I actually want to read her new books before I reread the trilogy -- I have Going Bovine and I need to get Beauty Queens.
To Kill a Mockingbird.
I still have not read Deathly Hallows. And yes, I've seen Pt. 1 and will see Pt. 2. Somehow, in this instance, I'd rather watch than read. I know it's going to be bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to read the final book. Yet.
All of those are--you realize there's a whole raft of books I'm never reading again, right? For the crying thing.
Confession: I have never read Watership Down and probably never will. Because of the crying thing.
