Reading and crying

Are there any writers who write so sensitively that they can wring tears from your eyes. I don't mean sentimental tear-jerking frivolity, I mean real writers who capture life in words and move you in the depths of your soul.

I've been told that I do at times...

I am no real writer, and I am more of the wild, horror, dark side. But I have read some books many years ago about people being in love and getting sick and dying. It made me cry. I don't read poetry, so I don't think it could make me cry, but some stories are so touchy, I don't even know how to explain it.

Any thing profound is bound to draw emotions and there are a lot of writers who are able to write some thing that can arouse these emotions in a person. I have found some biographies of persons which have moved me, particularly that of Mother Teresa.

Yes Svidrigaylov, I usually cry very easily when reading or watching something emotional. But the books that really really made me cry are Erich Segal's Love Story, Danielle Steele's Fine Things, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women!

I could easily cry even just reading a story or an article. Moving stories of life and struggles makes my eyes teary without me noticing it. Sometimes I refuse to read those stories, not that I don't believe but I guess it's gonna make me feel bad and helpless.
