I also have a strong memory of finishing Where The Red Fern Grows, but it differs from yours. The way I remember it, you and Mom were sobbing your way through a tissue box, and I was impatient about the effect the nose-blowing was having on the pace of the story. I may have thrown in a couple of exhortations to "READ!," as I often did when Mom paused to figure out how to eliminate not-for-4-year-olds language from other books. I guess it's true that empathy is something that has to develop? I remember being caught off-guard when movies started making me cry. (I thought that was a reaction particular to you. :)) I like this a lot.
