Why does that sound so familiar to me... did they make it into a motion picture?

I didn't cry at Dobby's death until Harry carved "Here lies Dobby, A free elf" on the rock. Then I couldn't stop myself. Dobby was an annoying little prick, but that scene got me good...

Quote:Again when the Weasly boy got it. I also cried at Dumbledore's passing, but not as much as I was expecting it.

I cried when I read Dumbledore's funeral scene, but I had also just lost my grandpa so it was like reliving his funeral a second time. Only with less magic. :p

Quote:I don't just read books. I climb right inside and experience them.

That's the approach that I take, I try to let the author take me on the journey with the characters; I try not to try and figure out the plot or whodunit or anything, I want to be surprised right along with the characters.

I don't often cry at books, though. I also usually real mystery/suspense/thriller novels that follow cops and take a "procedural" approach to story-telling. Hard to cry at those. Angel

I saw The Fault in Our Stars on the sale table at Powells months ago and failed to purchase it, even though I really wanted to read it. (I was still eating sours grapes over My Sister' Keeper and wasn't in the mood for another cancer book.) Now, with the movie coming out, it'll be months, or years, before it goes on sale again... Phooey.
