Cirque du Freak... in this a boy dies but he doesn't really cuz he can see what's happening with him after he dies. He sees how his parents react to his death, how they talk to him cuz they think he's dead and all. Damn sad.

I went through a phase where i only read romance novels..that was a few years ago...'n the one story that made me cry was a stupid Mills & Boon Story..i don't even remember the title now...

The other one that touched me was Memoirs of a Geisha...One of the most touching books that i have read in recent times...

Gone with the Wind - Makes me choke up everytime i read it..Esp..When Rhett walks away and Scarlett proclaims "After all, tomorrow is another day!".
I love that sentence...

well, like almost others hp books were the ones that brought me to tears especially in bk6 where ofcourse Dumbledore dies and in bk7 where Fred,lupin and tonks die.but it didn't make cry literally, it's just made me really sad and some tears did well in my eyes. i never felt that bad for Sirius in the bk when he died but after seeing the movie the way he just vanished behind the veil it made me feel so sad and sorry for Harry.

Hey, can you tell me what she means by that sentence? I thought it prolly means that she's still not learning from her mistakes and still is the naive person and thinks there's another day to come when she'll have the opportunity to get Rhett back.

How did you understand that?
