What books make you cry?

Question

I've just finished "Lovely Bones" and cried all the way through. I also always cry at Wuthering Heights" and "Lord of the Rings"

Answer 1

Actually when I just saw the headline I was going to put Lovely Bones before I read the rest of the question. I'd also have to agree on Wuthering Heights and cannot even read it again. But another I would say is P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern.

Answer 2

Wuthering Heights made you cry? That was a sappy romance novel! Of all the Brontes, I would say Charlotte had the most ability to produce tears, but only because I was so irritated when Jane went back to Mr. Rochester- of course it was obligatory to the storyline, but he was so mean and frankly... a little weird. Call me crazy, but I don't consider a man who keeps his first wife locked in the attic ideal marriage material.
Ummm... A Suitable Boy, by Vikram Seth was the only book that ever made me really cry. The heroine ended up consenting to an arranged marriage because her family wouldn't accept her Muslim boyfriend. What made me so sad was the fact that I understood her decision, but still mourned the unfairness of the situation. That was a great book.

Answer 3

I cried from The Lovely Bones as well. I wasn't expecting to be so touched by that novel.

Pretty much any book by Pat Conroy, but especially Beach Music. I cried on several parts in that.

A Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. Some very touching scenes.

Flowers for Algernon. That was a sad one.

To Kill A Mockingbird.

A young adult book called With You and Without You about a young girl who loses her dad. The Bridge to Terabithia. Charlotte's Web (yes, I admit it).

Answer 4

I also cried reading the Lovely Bones.
A new book that made me cry: The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman
An old bood that made me cry: So Long As Love Remembers by Janney

Answer 5

Bridge to Terabithia, The Same Stuff as Stars, and The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson

Answer 6

I'm such a wuss.
Blankets, the graphic novel by Craig Thompson made me weep,
but mainly because it conjured up memories of lost love.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers,
Microserfs by Douglas Coupland, The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Chbosky, What I Loved by Siri Husveldt and the graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan broke my heart.

Answer 7

A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving was the first book to makke me cry when I was young but there have been too many to name since. Last one was The Abortionist's Daughter by Elisabeth Hyde. The second last chapter would break a stone heart.

Answer 8

Love story by Erich Segal also Olivers story, French Kiiss the book movie with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline

Answer 9

Lots of books make me cry.

1984 by George Orwell made me cry
Where the Red Fern Grows
Flowers for Algernon
The Amber Spyglass
The Catcher in the Rye

The list goes on.

Answer 10

I once read a book called "A child called it". It is a true story about a child who was abused by his mother from being very little. It was absolutely heartbreaking and I had to keep putting it down as I found it really difficult to read it. I think the author is called David Peltzer and there are also two follow up books which tell you all about his life now he is a grown man - I haven't read these yet.

Answer 11

Let's see... The Giver, Harry Potter 6, Bridge to Terabithia, The Pearl of the Soul of the World, Pirates! Court Duel. There are so many I can't remember the rest...
