Like I said, it's a great book.  Just make sure to find a good translation if you do decide to actually buy it; some of the older translations have a very heavy-handed Victorian style.  I'd suggest the Penguin Classics edition from 1996.

Yeah, I agree with you on preferring realism over fantasy (though I don't really have a problem with fantasy, so long as it's done well).  I'm not sure how old you consider "oldies", but if you're open to books written more than a century ago, and you have the time to read something 1,200 pages long, you ought to read The Count of Monte Cristo.  Quite an epic tale (and I seem to remember a few Valentine de Villefort crying scenes, so obvious appeal there).

Welcome.  Good to see another new face, especially one that reminds me quite a lot of myself.  I also enjoy red faces, they don't necessarily even have to be crying (I quite like watching blushing), but even more than that I like voice breaking, as you mentioned, or as I like to describe it, the wavering of a person's voice when they are just on the verge of crying.  

You mentioned writing at the bottom; out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite genres, or are you open to anything?

Nice.  I haven't heard much popular/folklore, unless you count late Medieval/early Renaissance as a type of folk music, which I suppose some of it could be.  Again, thanks for the warm welcome; makes me feel more comfortable than I was going into this.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys.  Out of curiosity, Amans lacrimae, what instrument/music do you play?

I'll be honest: I'm surprised that I find myself doing this.  Just to get the basics out of the way--I'm male, 16 about to turn 17, straight, and interested in female crying.  It's hard to say when I first really noticed that I had any sort of paraphilia related to crying, since it was never anything I thought about or paid attention to.  It wasn't until a few months ago I actually gave it a bit of thought and said, "Hmm...".  I started to research it, as I am wont to do with anything new which piques my interest, and I stumbled across this forum.  I've lurked quietly for a while now, unwilling to actually register as I am very much a secretive person, but realizing how openly everyone on this forum talks about what they like gave me the push I needed to join.  

So, as for what I am myself attracted to: the tears themselves are not the main focus, though they are certainly important.  I view them as like the double-bass of an orchestra: I don't pay them much attention, but without them, everything would feel incomplete.  What I in particular like is the facial expressions and sounds associated with crying.  A quiet, somewhat suppressed or stifled weep is far preferable to a loud sob.  I also enjoy it when the voice wavers and shakes just before a girl starts to cry.  The lip curl is always welcome, though my attention is generally drawn more towards the eyes themselves (eyes have always been to me the most important feature.  I can overlook just about any other imperfection if she has beautiful eyes).  The glistening of the eyes during crying, the expression of sadness/anxiety when the eyebrows tend to raise and curve inwards, if that makes sense--therein lies my preference.  I would say that I have a pretty even mix between sexual arousal and a desire to comfort when someone cries.

As for other non-crying related interests of mine: I am very much interested in history.  If you recognize the figure whose name I took for my username, this may be obv
