#27 Things that moved

First book/movie/song that moved you.

The first book that made a real impact on me was "Kaffir Boy". It's been my favorite book since I read it my freshman year in high school. It's a biography of Mark Mathabane's life in South Africa and the battles and struggles of living among the apartheid regime. I remember connecting with this book on such a deep level. It's also so well written that every time I read a chapter I felt like I was in the middle of the raids and all the abuse. I recommend that everyone reads it at some point in their lives. It's a real eye opener.

I know I'm going to get shit for the movie that moved me but I'm not much of a softie when it comes to movies. I very rarely cry. Actually, I've probably cried during 3 movies. The first one was Titanic. Go ahead, laugh. I was a teenager and very hormonal...so it moved me. The Notebook was also too damn romantic and cute NOT to cry. The latest one I saw that touched on such a deep level was The Stoning of Soraya M. So much that it just made me angry at the amount of ignorance and hate in this world.

As far as music, Tupac's Greatest Hits album is an absolute tear jerker. But if I had to pick one song I'd say Seether's version of Careless Whisper makes me emotional every single time.
