Am I weird?

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.

I cry at parades. My mother used to do the same thing and we all thought she was weird, but somewhere in my 20's I started having the same reaction! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will do it a bit, but the local 4th of July parade on Main Street where I know half of the people? I weep (or fight off weeping) the whole time. Really mortifying. Something about the community spirit, hard work, earnest young people, and patriotism combine to just hit me that way.

And yes, books make me cry, regularly. Even kids books - On the Day You Were Born, especially - will make me cry.
