Answer 1

Lester R. Brown's Plan B 2.0

Answer 2

Where the Red Fern Grows
About a boy and his two hound dogs, set in the 20s or 30s, and the hardships they endure. Easy read and great book. If it doesn't make you cry, nothing will.

Old Yeller
Another easy read about a boy and his dog.

The Rainmaker
This story is a gripping read about a young lawyer fighting for his client against a corrupt Insurance company. The movie they made out of it was pure crap, but the book is great. And, of course, sad.

The Green Mile
This book, about several prisoners on death row, takes sad to the next level. You'll be pissed at Stephen King once you realize what's going to happen in the end, but you'll be glad you read it all the same.

Answer 3

Night by Elie Wiesel
It is the most powerful book I have ever read,and I must admit I think everyone should read it. It is a true account of the time he spent in concentration camp. There is actually a trilogy - Night, Dawn, and The Accident. Here is what Amazon says about Night:

Amazon.com
In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Answer 4

Two books that I would recommend to anyone in need of a good cry are:

1. A Child Called It - David Pelzer
This book is about a boy who was severely abused by his mother. It is a very, very sad book.

2. Tuesdays With Morrie (Can't remember author, sorry)
It is about a man whose old college professor has told him that he is dying, and the man decides to visit his professor on a regular basis and develops a strong bond.

Both books will make you cry.

Answer 5

Sophie's Choice by William Styron
The painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski
Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons
A Girl named Sooner by Suzanne Clauser

Answer 6

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Lolita by Viktor (?) Nabokov

Answer 7

Bridge to Terabithia by Katharine Paterson- meant for younger kids but it's such a good book, and I promise you will cry.
Also Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst and The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons

Answer 8

Why don´t you try "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo? I can promise tears towards the end of the third book, but you´ll feel sad throughout the story. It was a favourite of mine for a long time when I was a teenager.

Answer 9

Nicholas Sparks books definately and even the movies are really sad. One of his books The Guardian is pretty sad.

Answer 10

Of mice and men, and Where the red fern grows. I know they are Jr. High books, but every time I read them I cry like a baby!
