I read Flowers for Algernon recently, and I *cough* shed a few tears. This lead me to wonder if anyone else did so, over any book. This includes fiction and nonfiction, so I figured that it belonged here.
1) Have you ever wept because of a book?
Umm. No actually.
2) Have you ever nearly wept at a book?
Well. Yes. Quite a few times. I really don't take the death of characters well, expecailly after reading about them and holding them in your imagination.
3) If you answered "Yes" to 1 or 2, which book was it?
I really don't remember. But I do remember putting a few books down becuase I did not want to read teh rest in public.
4) Isn't Flowers for Algernon so, so sad? Yes, it is. I saw the play once. My high school did it and it almost brought me to tears.
