I haven't really cried to a book. Feeling utterly numb as though I should but I can't feel anything. Just a little tinge of sadness on some bits. For example, the early chapter of Wuthering Heights describing how Cathy's father dies had me a little choked up but I couldn't quite actually cry. It's probably a me issue, but post any books itt that you cried to or felt some very melancholy things about. Anything welcome if you think it'll gut punch me hard enough. I want to feel anything but just can't seem to.

>Books that have made you cry
Kinf of pathetic.
Oh, sorry anon. Didn't realize it's pathetic to want literature to make you feel emotional response. What's pathetic is your shitty post, made in no time at all. To see the thread, click it, fill in the captcha, and effectively wipe your ass with your keyboard in order to feel some emotion is much better, right? You don't like books, you don't care about literature. You just make dumpster tier throwaway posts like this in the hopes of trying to get a laugh or two, maybe a screenshot for reddit. No, anon, you are "kind of pathetic." You're the same type of idiot to post the Andrew Tate threads or a stupid prostitute webm here while shitting up the board quality. You're part of the reason why this board is dying. Shut the frick up and get out, I'm asking the question to people who actually read.
Books that have made me cry:
TBK
For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Sirens of Titan
All Quiet on the Western Front
Flowers for Algernon
Grapes of Wrath
Call of the Wild
Phaedo
Moby Dick
Thank you for the real post, anon. All are on my backlog except for Flowers. I had to put down The Whale at one point after about 10 chapters because something in life came up but I'd like to go back to it (too bad I lost literally all my books to flooding recently or I'd just pick it up right now). I'll consider the list and download something onto ereader, maybe.
Out of all of these I've only read Phaedo and I didn't cry. Do you think I'd cry if I'd read some of the other ones, or are they on the same level as Phaedo?
No, I would actually consider Phaedo to be the must unusual pick on my list.
It means you are one of the women Socrates was complaining about
Little b***h.
Jesus wept
Into the wild is pretty moving
Prufrock
Preludes
Gerontion
The Waste Land
The Hollow Men
Ash Wednesday
Four Quartets
I cry pretty easily whenever there are strong emotions at play. someone dies or someone gets married or anything like that. feels funny as I'm tall and scary looking and people give me space in public and stuff but I throw tears over nothing. most books with anything emotional make me cry.
I feel like I used to, over stupid petty shit. Especially if animals were involved or something happened to an animal, not even death explicitly but anything. And especially some music as well or moments within books that make me think of music. But lately I feel like nothing at all. thanks for reading my blogpost. Guess I'll try to bury my numbed emotion in more books.
Ty for the recs, I'll look into them.
I didn't read anything but the title of your thread. hahahahaah!
Phenomenology of the spirit
the only novel that has made me cry is Les Misérables
fugg, I came to post this. I am finishing it and today I was crying like a little b***h
The doge's of Venice jerusha Richardson
I only cry for myself
Crime and Punishment, Fellowship of the Ring, Othello, King Lear, The Denial of Death, Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Frankenstein.
Cyrano de Bergerac made me cry at the end.
It's on my list.
Good stuff, Stoner and Frankenstein made me feel more rage and isolation respectively but didn't cry. Need to get around to the rest.
Stoner
The Idiot
The Birds by Vesaas
Norwegian Wood
What part of Norwegian Wood made you cry?
i never cry because of a book, movie, or a song. but i've read kafka's letter to his father, and it left me fricking devastated, most likelye because i have similair experiences
I cried on the train when I read the last chapter of a little life tbh
I teared up a little at the end of Storm of Steel. It's hard to think of an author I respect more than Junger
i cry to jung because i know I'm mentally fricked
The Sea of Tranquility, the first 50 pages are not the easiest to go through but it's kind of a wild ride afterwards. I read it recently and I unconsciously drew so many parallels with my ex I just exploded into tears.
Bible, especially the psalms.
Stoner
Of Mice and Men
The Stranger, but only upon reflecting on it after reading the Myth of Sisyphus
My Old Suicide Notes
What part of Stoner? The end or the relationship part?
The part where his daughter gave birth despite her husband dying. I don't remember the line exactly, but it was about how she named her son after the father he would never meet
Oh, that wasn't particularly touching to me. Maybe it has to do with a personal experience of you?
The ending was heavy tho, how life can be wasted for nothing
My father is a great man and still alive. I think it was my fear of not having him or imaging the pain of not having a father
David Copperfield.
I didn't think it would affect me, the early chapters hit hard.
Poor kid.
