Anyone ever cry when reading a book? I'm reading All the King's men right now and it's the first book to make me cry. I'm having a hell of a time reading through the part I'm at, even though it's well written and on some level I enjoy it.

I really felt like crying at the end of East of Eden. Great ending to a great epic.

I'm a little girl when it comes to heroic deaths in battle, stuff like that frequently makes me cry. David Gemmell's Druss novels come to mind.
Also, the Perdido Street Station ending.

The end of Atonement. The movie end wasn't nearly so good, but then I was expecting it.

The Time Travelers Wife got me, it also kept on going and twisting the dagger for quite a while.
And because I'm a faggot, I cried at the end of LOTR, when they all went off to the Grey Havens.

I touch myself when reading non-fiction books about science. I cry afterwards of course.

a little bit of Fredric Jameson would atrack those interested in societal theories. he is an author mentioned in "Ghost in the Shell". Yet he has a type of language and understanding of society that might attract philosophical theorists or GITS fans.

You sure exaggerate the role of this ultraviolent pornographic manga. Or were you talking about the poorly written and horribly directed anime series?
