Posted by husky51 on 07.11.2014, 03:51 AM: Last book to make me laugh or cry??? Not sure of the last one to bring out that response, but Wounded knee did for sure, as well as Black Elk Speaks (forget his tribe, offhand) and I Will Fight No More Forever about the Nez Perce, and Ishi, Last of his Kind.

As for tears, I remember being very affected by Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, though that was many years ago now.

Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 07.11.2014, 11:10 AM: Oh god, I've cried reading tons of books! Out-loud laughter is slightly more unusual for me weirdly enough, and I don't tend to remember it as well.

Posted by arren18 on 07.11.2014, 11:21 AM: Interesting. The Remains of the Day wasn't as upsetting to me, but I read the whole thing feeling rather unsure about it all, and then suddenly found it deeply sad right at the end. It seems to me that he is good at creating that effect.

Posted by husky51 on 07.11.2014, 12:06 PM: Had some good chuckles and even a laugh or three while reading, "Captain Fatso" by Daniel V. Gallery. He was writing about the fictional adventures of a Boatswainmate's adventures as skipper of an LCU (utility cargo vessel) running around the Mediterrean. Having been a Navy man, I could relate to some of the nutty things he did.... lol bringing a smile just thinking about it... |
