Okay guys, i'm looking for something that will make me cry. A lot.

>> No.1030900

I have never cried at a book, but there was a lot of crying in The Perks of Being a Wallflower so try that one.

Ethyl bromoacetate.

It's a pretty severe lachrymator, the alpha halogen atom makes it reactive towards water, tl;dr it forms acid on the surface of your eyeballs.

So that would make you cry.

The only media to ever make me cry like a bitch was the movie Grave of The Fireflies.

I'm not talking single tear, or manly tears. I'm talking sniveling bitch tears.

No book has come close.

Though admittedly, I've never read the book it was based on.

Hands down one of the most depressing books I've ever read. Totally wasn't expecting it to be as grim as it was.

I'm not taking lessons on taste from a tiny dead gay man. Go back to carrying water for Harper Lee and organizing parties.

This "tiny, dead gay man" is renowned as one of the greatest authors of the 20th century.

I invented a genre.

Who are you?

I thought it was something like that. All I've read of his is Breakfast at Tiffany's which was good; In Cold Blood I just couldn't make it through.

I agree, his short stories are good too but I never really liked true crime.
