Has a book ever made you cry?

Question

Which book, why?

Answer 1

I bawled at the end of Of Mice and Men.

I almost cried during To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout confronted the racists at the courthouse and didn't understand what was going on.

Answer 2

Platero y yo by Nobel prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez, when I was 9 yrs old.
The little Prince by Antoine Saint Exupery when I was a teen .
Brokeback Mountain (the book, not the movie)
by Annie Proux about six months ago.

and many other fine books.

Answer 3

Pere Goriot by Honore de Balzac (when I was 15)
Because it was so sad story about one so lonely man, who in the same time had and hadn't family.

Eugene Onegin by Pushkin (when I was 14)
Because he was complete fool and she was great woman.

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (when I was 22)
Because Philip was so understanding. So perfect. And because everything was different that I desperately wanted it to be.

I won't count books that made me cry, but had an end I liked (more or less). Than there would be too much of them. (Gordana, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Wheel of Time series - yup, they did it to me, Good in Bed, Single White E-mail, Witch of Greech, Daughter of Lotrshchak, Single in Marriage...)

Answer 4

Yes, numerous books have. In fact, the one I am reading now, The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks; makes me cry.

Answer 5

The Dark Tower by Stephen King. There were so many losses in that book. Characters that I had been reading about for so long (around thirteen years) died or went away.

Answer 6

Yeah, several. In all genres. Have you ever read a book that made you cry?

Answer 7

All the time. I cry in movies as well.

I bawled my eyes out and was depressed for days at the end of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

So I'm a sook AND a nerd.

Answer 8

Yes, a couple of books. Children dying in the storyline usually gets me.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Phantom of the Opera made me cry. As well as For Whom the Bell Tolls.
