I spent the last two hours of reading East of Eden In tears, and then another half hour after finishing it trying to calm myself down!

First they Killed my Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers
(by Loung Ung)
The Lovely Bones made me cry so much, as did Chinese Cinderella. I wept so much after reading the bit in Chinese Cinderella about the duck!
I've never made it through Jane Eyre without crying a lot...
I'm that kind of a person who cries quite easily while reading. Almost all of my favourite books make me cry at some point.
Rousseau's The New Heloise
Alice Walker's The Color Purple...and certain parts in Julius Caesar as well.
Wow I ve come in at the right moment.
The first time I cried over a book was, in fact, Julius Caesar. I was reading the speech by Marc Antony over Caesars dead body. I was surprised myself and the students (it was a literature class) showed a beautiful, respectful silence at the end.
I read a lovely book by Martin Gray For Those I Loved. It is a true story, and it made me cry in many parts. What a wonderful book this is.
For fiction, a book that made me cry was Flowers For Algernon, by Daniel Keyes. Read more about it HERE if you are interested.
The Time Traveller's Wife made me cry, and so did The Catalpa Tree.
A few years ago, I read Sleepers by Lorenzo Carcaterra (the book was made into a movie with Brad Pitt, maybe you've seen it) and I almost cried, whereas I am a person who hardly ever cries at all... It was so moving, considering that it's a true story, it really broke my heart to read how some people can ruin children's lives for ever...
^^ I've seen the movie long ago, but never got the chance to read the book actually..it was a good one though!
A Prayer for Owen Meaney. The last night that Owen and John spent at the hotel together drinking beer and playing the Remember game. And of course, when he finally died.
Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by orson scott card (most of this series sends me into tears)
Stargirl by Spinelli. (She reminds me of myself)
Following the path of the Fullmoon by Arina Takemura (this is a manga, but is really sad)
and Inkspell by Cornelia Funke (I cried for hours when Dustfinger sacrificed himself for Farid)
Yes, i cry with chidlren's books (oh, the shame!)
