foxinthestarsI have Graphic Novels I can hardly read because they just make me cry too much. In a good way, but...
I love Blankets, and I've read all or at least the vast majority of it, but never straight through and certainly never in one sitting because it makes me cry too bad. (Also it's really long, but mostly the crying thing.)
The "Talisman" book of Finder, oh god...
But for some reason the worst is Lost at Sea by Bryan Lee O'Malley. That one, I don't really even know how (or whether) it goes; every time I try to read it, I open it up, skim around it a little, am reduced to a bawling wreck, and have to put it away.
Some of them it's like there's so much force in them that I have trouble reading them calmly straight through and just bounce around them until I can assemble a fairly complete composite view of the story (what happened with Blankets). But then there are some that are too much even for that... I don't always know why.
