    The Book Thief, is my FAVORITE book. I made my daughter promise she would read it one day.... I first read it on my Kindle. Afterwards, I decided that I just had to purchase the hardback to feel like I always had the treasure in hand.

    Wonderful, wonderful story.

    Gosh, that book has been on my "to be read" list for some time. I may have to move it up in the queue.

    I LOVED The Book Thief! I lent it out, and it never returned. I now have it on my Kindle but I might have to have another hard copy.

    P.S. It made me cry.

    Marley and Me had me crying for a long time, I knew what was going to happen and I still couldn't take it! There have been others I cried at too, Green Mile many parts of it. The other day I was in tears over "Animal Tracks" on MSNBC. Depending on the day it doesn't take much to cry tears of sadness, joy, overwhelming sweetness. I guess if you are weird then I am too!

    I don't cry, but I tend to get super wrapped up in stories and feel like the characters are "my friends"-i know weird! and then I get sad when the book or series ends. I recently read the hunger series and was so sad when I was finished with the 3rd book because I would no longer be with the characters...

    Oh, sheesh. I can cry watching commercials, reading commercials, watching strangers greet each other at airports, listening to 3 bars of an emotional song... you bet I cry over books. Thank goodness my dh isn't a weeper or we'd be in puddles here.

    I don't cry much over fiction, but you know what always gets me? Watching sports. I cry over cycling, marathons, gymnastics, you name it. Oh, concerts get me, too. It always surprises me when it happens.

    Crying is a good thing.
    I went with friends to see "The road" which is a desperate, very hard movie to watch. I was crying sooooo bad at the end of the movie that when the lights came up I was still crying my eye's out. I had to run to the bathroom to collect myself. It was awful.
