I read.
I stopped.
I wiped a tear.
Then cried like a river.
Sad movies, touching stories and books are making me cry.
Last month, i gave in to this want of grabbing a book, can not wait for the soft bound.
Thinking that maybe this time, no more tears will fall but, i was wrong, so so wrong.
Mitch Albom's books, i have cried with the stories written.
Am i cry baby?
Maybe yes, or the stories are well written that i felt it.
Now, i am almost done reading.
Yes, almost because i stopped due to losing my breath due to too much crying. Clogged nose eh? Lol.
Have you ever cried over the stories being told in the.book?

@Lucky15 I just finished reading a sad novel called "The Museum of Innocence", by Orhan Pamuk. It was very well written but sad.

I must admit I have cried seeing some films especially true life stories. I don't think I have cried reading a book!

@Lucky15 ... You told me what I shouldn't read..lol. I don't like crying. I think tears feed themselves...the more you cry the more things to feel sorry are there..either we spend energies to resolve it some way or the other, if we can, or leave it alone. Especially fiction tears are undesirable for me.

@responsiveme .. Mila 18 and QB VII ...back then they had me in tears..there was another one..which only had facts in it when he described the fat layer in the pit in which they burned jews, I puked. I even cried when they mentioned how they removed golden teeth of jews. Removed their clothes and shoes and so on. How can hatred reach that level? Much later I saw how they dumped the bodies like hammock into pits..gosh..this time I was mentally prepared for depravity. Ironically the first two were fictions. The last documentary was not.

Yes I have. I am pretty soft hearted so it doesn't take much to make me cry.

I have cried. Offhand "A Stone for Danny Fisher", and "79 Park Avenue" in English, and Kabuliwalah in Hindi, and well, many but not the ones that many people say are sad like Devdas. I found nothing worth crying in Devdas. Some touch us more I suppose. Our movies like Khamoshi, Koshish, Anand, Mili, Amar Prem, and Mausam can make me cry even today...so I watched them once...that is enough...some touch you but you are left with a feeling of pain and yet can't cry out. Dayra was one slow moving movie ...it talks about women in our society, a girl young enough to be daughter of a man married to him, and a guy wants to marry her, eventually the girl gets tuberculosis, and the guy who wanted to marry her, marries somebody else. Little House on Prairies, I have watched a few episodes, and cried...nope ...don't want to...it gives headache.

YAS Plenty of times. The words move me better than a visual scene sometimes. Some authors just describe the emotions so well. I envy them theor ability to describe emotions. I want that ability too. So much! I can describe a scene very well, can invoke emotions and tell a story well but can't describe the emotions. That bums me a LOT!

Sometimes...but in general, since there is so much sorry in life...I tend not to read those stories because I have to deal with them daily. However, the truth is, those stories are useful for helping articulate our own circumstances...and whether or not one cries, that is helpful.
