We got off-topic during the City of Ember thing, so here's a place to fume or cry over sad, bad or dreadfully befuddling books...just don't bawl on the keyboard!

Haha. very inventive summary.
Sad books I like:
Les Miserables
Lord of the Flies
A Tale of Two Cities
Lord of the Rings (if that counts)
The Last BattleThat is all.
(Actually I'm sure there are more)

Yeah, The Last Battle was a tear-jerker; I only read the first 50 or so pages of Les Miserables, but was apalled at the tragic movie adaptation.

Pip here again; The Red Badge of Courage was prettty sad, so was Great Expectations in some parts.

"Where the Red Fern Grows" was really, really sad.

Ooh, yeah! I read that one in a day. The Summer of the Monkeys got my dad crying for the beauty of it; so did Mama's Bank Account, come to think of it! Loverly books.

I've read both of those! Mama's Bank Account was great.

Great! We can sob together. What are some parts that really stood out for you in those books, R.?

Pip here again; since this thread is also for venting about cheesy books, I was under the impression that I was getting the real, classic version of Ben-Hur from PBS.com...well, the other day there was a tiny book that came, and I wondered furiously as I opened it because all the books I am expecting are novels. And guess what it was? "Ben-Hur: a Modern Adaption".
*que the screaming and stomping and general pandemonium*
Needless to say, I marched upstairs and posted that dinky little papercover right back into the system.Posted 3 years ago #
