The only book that I can remember crying while reading was Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls. I think I was 13 at the time.

Finished reading Angels and Demons last night. Finally what happened on the last page happened. God, it took forever and it was so obvious. (I didn't want to spoil the ending)

Now off to read Dracula!

Okay I'm going to have to find away to sleep less if I am ever going to get all these books read.

I just started The Broken Tower, a biography of the poet Hart Crane. I was going to read a little in the bath, I stayed in there for like two hours, the water was all cold. So far, I recommend it if you like biographies and hold any interest for poets or the modernists.

I read Dracula (if you mean Bram Stokers) once a year. Love that book.
