A Child Called It.
Maybe its just me, but anything about hurting children really gets me.

A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway. I was totally shocked that she dies in the end, and the way the guy is nonchalant about it was just so unsettling to me.
And when I was younger I thought that Where the Red Fern Grows was the saddest and best book ever. Very sentimental.

I know it sounds like I'm crazy and maybe I am but the Nanny Diaries is one of the saddest books i've ever read.

The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer
Dark and Sad
THE DOGS OF BABEL by Carolyn Parkhurst
Sad but written in a happy way (does that make any sense?)

I've read so many books, and I just can't think of a "sad" one. Someone mentioned 1984, and while that one is scary and pertinent, I couldn't really call that a sad one. Must be a guy thing?

I know they made a movie out of this also, but the book was extremely sad...The Notebook. How depressing. I just hope i have someone who wants to take care of me like that when I get old! : )
