@ccraft: Streetcar Named Desire. Book and movie. I am presently bawling my eyes out, thank you very much.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof. Read it, and watched it. That should be next on your list, unless you have already?

@ms-lola: idk why but I'm not getting notifications anymore :/

I haven't seen any movies yet. What did you think of Glass Menagerie? The sister in the story reminded me a lot of my sister. I had a lot of personal connection from that book.

And the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, reminds me of how my father and I aren't very close, stuff like that.

@ccraft: (I didn't get this notification, either.)

I enjoyed both books in the context they were presented in, but I try to not judge characters in environments which contain elements out of their control. My heart can break and I hate that because I think there's enough out there in real life to break a person down than to look for suffering in fiction. I prefer my tears be for real people, things and situations. Just as pointless and unproductive, but at least I can fool myself into thinking I can help in some way.

Now, as for your sister and father, I think it's cool you can draw a connection to both through literature. If it helps you gain better insight towards both, that's even more awesome.

@ms-lola: That's true, but I think when reading a book, or watching a movie the characters become real in our imaginations. And thats why we feel strongly when we see something sad or have a personal connection with a book.

It does, when you see the negative outcomes in the book it makes you want to try and prevent that in your own life.

@ccraft: I don't disagree with you, and if you learn something that helps prevent a negative outcome in your own life, that's great. I just think life isn't that easy. A negative outcome is usually a hindsight discovery, outside of obvious life choices like drugs, alcohol abuse, etc.

@ccraft: In a bit of a different format, if they're plays would they not be written as plays?

@dagmar_merrill: Still aren't really that different from other books, with plays you get a lot of speech from characters. Usually at the beginning the author describes the set of the play and the characters, then it progresses to the story. Have you read a play? If so what don't you like about them?

@dagmar_merrill: I'm just assuming here, but maybe you were forced to read plays (R&J) in high school, and a distaste of plays grew from that. I used to hate reading in school, but now I love it.

I would recommend A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by TW, I think that has a little of something everyone would enjoy, and it's one of his very best works. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
