What book (or books) has had the largest emotional effect on you? any emotion
I'm reading Lolita for the first time. I'm feeling the a nice amount of disgust towards Humbert.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Middlemarch made me cry both ways.
Dubliners made my stomach hurt.
My diary, desu
>towards humbert
Why?
Farewell to Arms is the only book that gave me goosy bumps, everyting else just make me think more
>duck skin
Sabato's trilogy, and Beckett's drama.
>chicken skin suit and alligator boots
Firewing... or the Voyage of the Dawn Treader or Rumo or Mossflower. Each of these words conjures up feelings that I can't put into words. I just can't do it!
And nothing I've read for the rest of my life has moved me since. Nothing's even registered. I don't wanna talk about it. It makes me mad!
Bible - strongest emotional impact, not even a question
The Brothers Karamazov - I just can't
A Farewell to Arms - numbness mixed with sadness
Barrack Five B - disgust
The Naked and the Dead, by Mailer
The Power and the Glory as well as The End of the Affair by Graham Greene
Rabbit, Run, by Updike
And some God-tier children's lit: Twain's The Prince and the Pauper and Watership Down.
Which books of the bible gave you an emotional impact?
because he wants the loli for himself silly
