I started The Art of Racing in the Rain…but quit. I quit reading dog books,long ago…because they all make me cry. I broke my rule and read Marley and Me …loved it…loved his writing, but also decided…no more. I started “Racing” because a friend recommended it. But when it started with the older dog, I put it down. ? Still have it, but don’t think I can do it. I can read murder and mayhem all day, but dog books are hell.
I kept it, because I want to read it…my friend that recommended it has passed …and I’d really like too. We will see. Will I need a whole box of tissues?
The Incredible Journey. Can’t remember who wrote it. It was about two dogs and a cat who got separated from their family and traveled across country to find them.
Gonna give ole Doig a whirl . . I have this novel, never read it. I like how you describe the poetry . . . Richard Russo’s end of novel Empire Falls is very poetic and many parts of “Snow on the Cedars” by David Guterson is very poetic. If poetry doesn’t make you cry . . . watch.
I cried with the imitation game (the movie. Though it is inspired by a book, which is in my tbr since forever.) but it depends on what makes you cry, I suppose…
my personal memoir – The Unspoken Truth – my story of abuse writing through a child’s eyes. Giving the child’s perspective of abuse. Profound, emotional and deep
Loved it. My mother suffered from Alzheimer’s and my mystery novel, Going Home, was inspired by her situation. But Still Alice offered the unique perspective of the person suffering from Alzheimer’s.

TheChamber by John Grisham
Heart Earth by Ivan Doig, not so much for the subject matter, but for the authors way with words, some poetry will as well.
Gonna give ole Doig a whirl . . I have this novel, never read it. I like how you describe the poetry . . . Richard Russo’s end of novel Empire Falls is very poetic and many parts of “Snow on the Cedars” by David Guterson is very poetic. If poetry doesn’t make you cry . . . watch.
