A question to the MEN in the group, read anything that made you cry?
Yeah no doubt!
Which book was it?
@Jay it was a Danish one called Elverskud ?
@David Is an English version available?
@Jay nope, it isn’t that popular yet, but it’s about these elves that have to dance to increase their lifespan. But A Man Called Ove also made my cry-ish
@David well that sounds incredible.
@David sounds similar to the movie trolls ?
@David which also made me cry btw
@Anna ahahaha, I might have to buy the books again and then translate them. But the story were so good!
@Anna I actually don’t know about that since I know very little about them, but funny enough that’s also based on Danish folklore
My friends book. He’s the nicest man but lived a life of Hell. His semi autobiographical book is finally out. It’s actually free for kindle users today only.
I don’t cry for books, but this one did. To see how cruel the world can be to a child. And at the end of the day, he’s still smiling.
Thanks!
Just downloaded this. Thanks for the recommendation.
I downloaded it! Commendations to your friend on having his book published!
I don’t think so. I nearly cried during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, though. Oh, and then there was a moment in Krista Walsh’s Evenlight where a rift opened up in the veil between worlds and someone’s horse got pulled into it. ?
A Dog’s Purpose made me tear up.
Tristan & Iseult: shed tears at the ending.
Curious, why the question specifically for men? Are they supposed to be less emotional/ less prone to cry?
Hmm from my personal experience, a lot of things that made women in my life cry did not make me feel
the same way. I don’t expect men to be less emotional. However, I expect them to not necessarily be sensible to the same things nor with the same intensity.
The Green Mile by Stephen King
Holding the Man. Please don’t even get me started
The closest book that made me cry was flowers for algernon and a thousand splendid suns. I also read the radium girls recently and reading the stories of those women was really sad. It made me tear ?
I’m a chick and never cried over a book.
The Light Between Oceans by M L STEDMAN
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Watership Down by Richard Adams.
Charlotte’s Web gets me every time. Read that to my daughter and she was like Dad Charlotte was just a spider.
A Dog’s Purpose.
(Getting over the loss of 2 pets over a 9 month period).
Your suggestions are appreciated. Thank you gentlemen!
The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch
Like reaching for tissues cuz you’re ugly crying and tears are flowing?
No. Never.
Getting a little choked up and tears form but don’t actually roll down my cheek?
Yes. Many times.
I teared up with “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara
I’ve done it with a few books. The most recent works that come to mind are Sophocles’ Ajax, Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters (not the whole book, just the part with Squire Hamley — I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t read it, so I won’t go into any more details), and the ending of Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.
And I’ve cried laughing at some books, like The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth. When I first read it, I was heading home from the Los Angeles Opera and stopped at a Denny’s on the way to get something to eat. I was practically alone at the restaurant, which was a good thing because within a few pages I was doubled over with laughter when Henry Burlingame was explaining why he was dodging Isaac Newton.
