I forgot all about A Taste of Blackberrie...Oh. MY.<br /><br />I forgot all about <i>A Taste of Blackberries!!</i> The moment I read the title, suddenly all I could remember was that <i>that book made me cry!!</i><br /><br />Then I come here and (like the commenter above) see Tammi has mentioned <i>P.S. I Love You.</i> RANDOM!! That's one of only three books I ever bought (and still own) from my own, short-lived, pre-teen phase.<br /><br />Can't say that book made me cry, though. I wasn't <i>that</i> far gone.<br /><br />:D<br />rRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823648489427679440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1166669699146350362006-12-20T21:54:00.000-05:002006-12-20T21:54:00.000-05:00Oh my, I'm beside myself!

This post was fascinating...Libby Koponen said...<BR/><BR/> This post was fascinating! And the list of books made me laugh -- maybe just the way as a kid I laughed in movies when other people were starting to sniffle (even when I was one of the people starting to cry). I laugh out loud much more easily than I cry, in fact I usually laugh a few times a day and cry only very rarely.<BR/><BR/> But, I did blubber OFTEN during LITTLE WOMEN. Other books that have made me cry:<BR/> I KNOW WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS (even though I hate that book)<BR/> GONE WITH THE WIND<BR/> THE SECRET GARDEN<BR/> THE TREASURE SEEKERS (the scene where Dora is is talking about the promise she made to their dead mother...there are many scenes in this book that make me laugh, too)<BR/> OLD YELLER (movie and book, so sad I couldn't bear to see or read it again)<BR/> BLACK BEAUTY (book: when Black Beauty is old imagining herself & Ginger when they were young at whatever that happy home was -- even as a child that scene always got me! It was HORRIBLE when Ginger died but that didn't make me cry)<BR/> --why am I doing this? I should be packing!!!!<BR/><BR/> One more thing: Even though in real life I laugh much more than I cry, it's really hard for a BOOK to make me laugh out loud, really laugh: I will try to think of some that have made me laugh as hard as I did during the infamous "get down to the cupcake level" incident (that is desribed on Alvina's personal blog someplace)or other times in real life when you just can't stop laughing. More books should have this effect, in my opinion!<BR/><BR/>Maybe laughing is so dependent on timing that it's hard for a book to make you guffaw the way scenes in real life or movies do???Libby Koponenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508041827996196293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1166482206256060682006-12-18T17:50:00.000-05:002006-12-18T17:50:00.000-05:00Shame on me!
