A guy at the bus stop in Dayton saw my copy of "A Little Life" and asked if I was okay before I even opened it

I was reading on the bench on my lunch break last Tuesday and he just looked at the cover and said "that one took me out for a week, I had to call my brother after." I told him I was only 60 pages in and he laughed and said to keep a box of tissues close, which honestly scared me more than any review ever has. Now I'm wondering if I should push through or if some books are better left on the shelf, has anyone else been warned off a book by a total stranger?
