Thanks for the list, Lilli. My son read Wiesel's Night when in high school. As i never read it, i joined him. What a powerful book!

I couldn't even see the pages as I was crying at the end of that book. Very powerful.

I read Night and I also found it quite intense. I felt broken-hearted for Weisel and his family. He never got over the loss of his little sister, and I can understand that. If I'd been in his place, I wouldn't, either.

I agree with you both. Some scenes he depicted are still with me.
