Ive cried at movies. Songs, tv shows, the news and the like. But I’ve never cried when I’ve read a book.
I like books that explore the darker hubris of human nature. I’ve never read a romance novel – for me, I find them quite trite. I like novels that delve into the misery pit of the human experience. I’ve read quite some novels like this. But they have failed to make me shed a tear.
In that essence, I want you to suggest a book for me that will break my heart open, crawl in its space and call my heart its new home for a while.
So please, suggest to me a book that isn’t for the faint hearted; that will emasculate my feelings, tear my soul apart. I really want to emotionally struggle to get through a book because it’s so emotionally intense!
Fictional novels would be great; any author, any time period. Just please don’t suggest a book that could kill a person if you dropped it on their head from the 10th floor. I don’t have time to read such big books right now. Other than that, show me what you got!
EDIT: YA is banned in my household. Yuck!
