Day 06 – A book that makes you sad - I thought about this one on the way home, and the problem is that lots of books have PARTS that make me sad.  I also actively avoid books that are going to make me sad, because there's enough real bad stuff in the world without adding the fictional. 

I ended up picking The First Four Years, the last of the original Little House set.  It just depresses me.  I know the story was based on Laura's reality, but I just hate to think that all the good in These Happy Golden Years is followed by all the financial problems, health problems, inability to have more than one living child... It just makes me sad.  So for me, they stop at These Happy Golden Years.
