Ethan Rayne ,'Potential'
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."
What was the line?
This is the line that kills me:
But until I was four, almost five years old, I couldn't walk, only crawl. I spent a lot of time looking at people's knees. But if there was ever a parade, or something to see, I had the best view of anybody because I watched it from on top the Sergeant's shoulders.
"Is that it? Are we done?"
I know I'm supposed to know what this comes from. I don't.
First book I remember crying while reading is A Lantern In Her Hand. And then Where the Red Fern Grows.
Gris, Angel. Doyle.
I remember as a kid, crying at the end of a book called Tom's Midnight Garden [link] But not because it was sad, just because i enjoyed it so much that I didn't want it to end.
Gris, Angel. Doyle.
Ah! Yes.
It was part of my tag once. I am ashamed.
More than Anne of Green Gables, I cried hard at the end of Pat and Emily series by LM Montgomery. I read the Pat series again when I was older and didn't love it as much, so I've stayed away from Emily of New Moon.
Books make me sad, but more often, they'll make me angry on behalf of a character, or a group.
But I'm a sucker for visuals and injustice, and HKF recently caught me sniffling over a Little House on The Prairie episode HKF was watching. What? It was sad that Mary didn't take the test after she nearly burned down the barn. See also, Ever After.
Don't feel bad, Gris. I couldn't immediately place it either.
Add me to those people who bawled at Where the Red Fern Grows and Charlotte's Web. I had the misfortune of deciding to read Where the Red Fern Grows on one of our family car trips across the country. I was in the back seat reading and sobbing. I went through a whole box of kleenex. My mom was so worried she made my dad pull over until I calmed down.
eta: Man, I just went to read a summary of WTRFG and now I'm sobbing like a baby AGAIN.
Sounder. Roots. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry. Lord of The Rings. Hunger Games. Game of Thrones.
The slave trade (specifically the transatlantic one) makes me cry like a baby. Racism in the South makes me cry. The bit where the little guys stand up to fight makes me bawl.
