A moving story

It has been a while since a book has touched me in a way to make me cry while reading. The last I remember is a few years ago when I read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (which I hear was made into a really awful movie). I'm sick at home and decided to spend some time reading when I wasn't napping. I managed to read the whole of Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook this evening. I must say that near the end I choked up and cried. I spent a good ten minutes once I read the last page just sitting with tears running down my face. The love between Allie and Noah is so amazing. It makes me long to find even a fraction of that in my own life. I can't wait to see the movie version to see if it lives up to the book.
