I am the ultimate movie crier. Ask anyone. It can get pretty ridiculous. However, I do NOT tend to be a book crier. It must be the added background music that gets me...
Up until tonight, the only exception to this rule was A Walk to Remember. Oh Nicholas Sparks. I now have to add another though, and it was a biggie.
On the plane ride home from Greece, I started My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. I was looking in the Greek bookstore for a good read that could outlast the dreaded eleven hour flight when Nat suggested this one, mentioning that at one point you couldn't put it down. Uh yeah. While hysterically crying, I might add.
It was a wonderful read, though, and I would definitely recommend it. Just keep some tissues handy. And prepare for some critical thinking, too. It poses some interesting questions that were fun to ponder. Well not really actually, considering the situation. Just read the book.
Now I'm watching Cheaper by the Dozen. Yep, there goes a tear. Good grief Emily...
I'm not sure I'll make it through the movie that comes out in a couple weeks...
Confession - despite not being much of a movie crier, I teared up while viewing "The Reader" on the plane flight over here. I was feeling really embarrassed about it until the woman next to me began crying...and she was watching "Marley and Me." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a very sad stories, and pet movies do that to people. It's just...Owen Wilson? Yeah, I didn't feel so bad.
