What is the name of the novel you could force a random man off the street to read where if he doesn't cry when he's finished then you know he's a soulless psychopath?

Not a novel but My Autobiography, by Benito Mussolini alias "il Duce".

congratulations.

this is literally one of the dumbest post I have ever seen.

good job.

Maybe not cry, but at least think it's pleasant and good:
The sound of waves.

Of you don't like that book you are some kind of evil cuck who didn't like nice things.

Animal Farm Boxer
The House at Pooh Corner when they find out why they can't find Christopher Robin
Charlotte's Web Charlotte

>his heart's been so hardened by modern omnipresent irony that he can't even enjoy the simple pleasures of a crying thread

I know that feel, user.

Greentext it pls.

Perhaps I've missed the point, but there are so many fucking factors to OP's outrageous thread.

>does the person like to read
>can they read
>what do they like
>what don't they like
>will they try to rob you instead?
>what if they are more sane then you?
>what if "Go Dog Go" makes you cry?

The question is fucking inane.

>does the person like to read
Mostly likely not, it's a random man off the street.
>can they read
Yes, we're on the internet so it's America, not India.
>what don't they like
Pain and loss probably.
>will they try to rob you instead?
Irrelevant to the point of the hypothetical so "no."
>what if they are more sane then you?
They might or might not be, what does it matter? We're talking about whether they have the capacity for emotions, not whether or not they're subject to hallucinations or delusions i.e. the question is one of psychopathy not psychosis
>what if "Go Dog Go" makes you cry?
What if it does?
>The question is fucking inane.
No it isn't. You're trying to over-complicate it with irrelevancies. It's a hypothetical, it obviously serves the purpose of answering a specific question so wondering about shit like what the weather's like on that day or if the guy you pull off the street knows kung fu isn't going to serve the purpose of this exercise.

if u werent LITERALLY autistic you would see that the OP was intentionally vague so as to get (you) to respond with whichever question was most important to you.

of mice and men

What if the question was simplified to:

"What book should make an average person feel deeply moved?"

Your random person off the street is fucking stupid and unnecessary.

Good answer desu.

u dense af t.bh f.am

Fucking spoilers, man

>simplified

You didn't simplify, you autist-ified it. It's actually way more awkward sounding now.

The memerphosis of Kafka

of mice and men is bad but the pearl made me bawl in public. i thought he needed the long lead up of east of eden to make me cry harder than of mice and men but, no, he just needed that fucking stupid indian

My diary is pretty therapeutic. I don't list things I've done (mostly because I don't do much), but it's a nice place to rant against the world.

I can maybe see this working with music but not literature. That being said, the part after the famous intro of Also Sprach Zarathustra by Strauss almost made my cry

Good line.

I'm not sure what the rest of your post is about. Have you never read any Greek myths or what?
