1) Have you ever wept because of a book?

Yep

2) Have you ever nearly wept at a book?

Probably

3) If you answered "Yes" to 1 or 2, which book was it?

That I remember the Fionavar Tapestry, Farseer Trilogy, the Silmarillion and Pet Semetary (I think that's how it's spelt, the Stephen King one).

4) Isn't Flowers for Algernon so, so sad?

Haven't read it *adds it to her reading list*
