The book that made me laugh and cry is DON QUIXOTE. It is a strange mixture of comedy and tragedy. It touches the innermost core of the heart.It goes on haunting me.

i am much moved by novels
i'm so much into the plot of a novel that i get touched by each emotional incident. i vividly remember crying over the death of ramu(in 'THE GUIDE' by R.K.NARAYAN). it was the first time i ever cried over a book. most recently, i cried very badly when Dumbledore died in HP& HBP. another unnerving incident was the helpless situation of tess, her crime and ultimately her death that left a lasting impression on me. i cried my heart out. tess is the best portrayed women in fiction so far and very few can remain unperturbed by her struggles and ill-luck in life. http://www.online-literature.com/for...cons/icon9.gif

Books usually have a harder time getting me to laugh than they do getting me to cry, which could either mean I’m deep and sensitive or that I’m a total misery-guts depending on how you look at it.
A book that made me cry with BOTH laughter and sadness was “Everything is illuminated” by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Has anyone seen the movie that came out recently? Is it any good?
Completely agree with you on this point– “Tess” is a tearjerker on a grand scale!another unnerving incident was the helpless situation of tess, her crime and ultimately her death that left a lasting impression on me. i cried my heart out.
It was something that made me cry badly. I felt very miserable. I do not think that Harry would have missed Dumbledore more than me. When I watched Harry Potter 4 movie, I did not get the courage to look at dear old Dumbledore's face. I felt really bad. He should not have died.Originally Posted by nova9

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
I read Gone With the Wind, two years back... was reading it while travelling by train to my mum's home town... it took me two days to finish the book... and as soon as I closed the book I started crying... my mom was like... "Eva what's wrong with you"... and when i told her it was the novel, she and my dad and my sister and two other people sharing the compartment with us, laughed at me ... I still remember I actually CRIED!..
another incidence was in class this year, while we were doing Doctor Faustus... while reading the last 2 scenes, I could feel tears welling up in my eyes... and the portion where in the final hour Faustus reflects on his past deeds, his soliloquy... I just couldn't stop my tears,I wiped them thinking no-one would have seen... I usually sit in the first row in my class...when i looked up, my teacher was looking at me... and smiled at me..

I have watched "Gone With The Wind" Movie. I admit that it was very sad.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

'Tis ruined, I say...ruined.I've never even read the books, and I know it.

Hey, there WAS, until a certain someone I knew a few months ago put only one line of space between his spoiler warning and the spoiler itself. Curse my training in speed-reading!!

I cried when I read animal farm...Ooooh, and in Jane Eyre too, which is odd as I dont really cry over 'romantic' novels.
You won't believe it ... but I cried when reading a Perry Rhodan book - the one his old friend and mentor Crest dies.
I had a lump in my throat when reading one of Henning Mankell's Wallander-novels - again someone died (Wallander's father).
However, mostly movies make me really cry (e.g. The Green Mile, Steel Magnolias).

I cried while reading Middlesex and The Twins. Sometimes tears have their own pleasure - I think.

Ok - SPOILER WARNING -
I cried when Dobby dies in HP & Deathly Hallows. I reread it again this summer and cried again. Also cried over HP & GOF.
I can't remember any other specific books, but I used to cry over them all the time. Drying up, I guess.
I did love SHES COME UNDONE. That was a great book! Haven't liked any of his other work nearly as much.
I shed a few tears at the end of The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.
