Books that have made you cry

[eostre]

A lot of books have made me cry but Bastard out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison was something incredible. That book is so good, but at the same time gut-wrenching.

HaHa! Yes...Harry Potter 5 def. made me lose a few tears.

I consider any Holocuast book to be heart-wrenching.

Ditto

 

[Bixby]

only a few books have ever made me cry and these are them:

Where The Red Fern Grows - read it in the 5th grade with my mom and it took us forever to read, what with having to do grocery-runs for more tissue boxes every 5 seconds.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - good but sad..

The Diary of Anne Frank - heartbreaking.

Same here! I remember sitting in the middle of my room while it was raining outside and reading the last 30 pages sobbing.

night- by eli weisel
the diary of anna frank
these books are so sad ... prepare to see the floodgates open

 

[Toulouse Monroe]

Anna Karenina (Tolstoy) and Wuthering Height (Emily Brontë), give me a unhappy love story and I'll cry my heart out.
Those two are also my favourite books.

i'll be hunting that one down at the closest kinokuniya

i have to agree with everyone on the time traveler's wife- i'm not usually one who cries reading books, but this one got me really bad...

each moment that i wait feels like a year, an eternity. each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. through each moment i can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. why has he gone where i cannot follow?

you can see i was hooked from the very first page

 

[jssy4eva]

I'm sure this has been said a million times, but The Lovely Bones made me bawl like a baby when i read it It's a beautiful book

interesting thread! What made me cry-
-The Lovely Bones, like everyone said
-Rebel Angels
- The latest Harry Potter book didnt make me cry, but it made me very sad.

Anna Karenina made me cry for an whole night, and I just bought an copy of Wuthering Hights, if it made you cry, Toulouse Monroe, there is no doubt I will like it to!

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - Sobbed my *** off

 

[Toulouse Monroe]

Anna Karenina made me cry for an whole night, and I just bought an copy of Wuthering Hights, if it made you cry, Toulouse Monroe, there is no doubt I will like it to!

O, I'm sure you'll love it!

A bit dark but oh, so passionate!

For the perfect enjoyment read it with Wuthering Heights from Kate Bush playing in the background.

Oh my god, that was such a good book and so damn sad.

Regeneration

And, despite all of it's flaws, Magic's Pawn. I just read it for the second time and, yes, it made me cry again.

 

[Orane]

I think there's only one book that made me cry. It's Le Grand Meaulnes, by Alain Fournier. I'm not sure but I think the english title is The Wanderer.
It's also my favorite book.
