I sob. Loudly. The worst is when I’m reading in public then I have to hide my tears! (Looking at you, One Day!)

I just finished Harry Sue by Sue Stauffacher, and it made me ugly girl cry. I loved the book and the main character, Harry Sue.

I have to stop intermittently to sob and then go around being moody for several hours.

The only time I ever stopped because I was crying was when I read HP and the Deathly Hallows as I couldn’t see the page through the tears

I had a marathon viewing of Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister and Jeeves and Wooster, and the universe felt proper once again.

Same here with Fawlty Towers and Black Adder.

Black Adder (from series 2) really is an non-stop carnival ride of laughter.

Try not to read sad books. My own life a bit sad (not looking for sympathy)

I tried reading sad books but now I avoid them like the plague because my poor little heart just can’t take it

Well after reading A walk to remember I was devasted. But I started reading Anna and the French kiss right away. So my suggestion is that you move to a new book with lighter plot and with more likely happily ever after ending.

I just finished a book early this morning. And I’m still coping with the fact that I had to come back to earth. I’m sad I’m angry but I’ve been looking through my new books to hopefully find another one that was just as good or better

I’ll cry then don’t want to talk to anyone.. I’ll freeze reading for a week or two till I can get over.

I was so angry with John Grisham’s Sycamore Row on learning what happened to Lettie’s grandparents I had to stay away from people just to calm the hell down!
Worst novel-triggered experience ever.
