Books that made you cry

The way he says it.
Well I thought it was funny so ner.

I didn't mean to sound accusative, I just really didn't appreciate or understand why my ex-fiance did that. He did a lot of things I didn't appreciate. Which is why he's an ex-.

Sorry, the association was bad.

Fool, see my first post on this thread! I bawled my eyes out at the books.

I remember having cried to one of Pushkin's "Belkin's stories", or whatever you call them in English...but I can't translate the title :eek:

Recently I read another Russian short story that made me cry cos it was sweet... (but that day even the tv magazine might have made me cry :D)

It's weird how I can't remember any big books I cried to. Maybe I cried less than I think:eek: :eek: :eek:

I forgot about my first book that made me cry.

I started reading at 8. My first book was adult novel, about how was established Soviet republic in Azerbaijan. And there was a scene at the end where a husband killed his wife because of she took out of hijab and attended to school. I read it under the table (took the book without permission) and this sad scene made me cry. I cried bitterly, but in unvoiced, in order to keep my place in secret.

as I started with crying, I think I deserve first award of this thread.

LoL I think you do. :D What an introduction to literature! Poor you. :(

I read 'Le Grand Maulnes' by Alan Fournier last night which has a pretty sad ending. Also quite frustrating in that you want to grab a few of the characters and give them a slap and some sense. good read though.

There are points in LOTR that made me tear up. Both the book and the movie. Like at the end of the movie where everyone bows to the 4 hobbits. I can get teary-eyed thinking about it.

I'm a big fan of the Dragonlance Saga and after reading pretty much every book written previous to it and then reading Dragons of Summer Flame the end made me cry.

*wells up*

I think Pippin's song, in the film, made me a bit blurry eyed.

Some girlie cries ...

On the Occasion of my Last Afternoon by Kaye Gibbons
This book was torturous in that I became more and more depressed as I read. By the end, I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe and had to stop and catch my breath before I went on. I never got this messy reading a book before.

I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb
Incredible story, but again, so depressing.

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
If you're not in tears for at least one part of this (I won't tell you which), you're made of steel.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Standard tearjerker. I love the movie, too, and am usually in tears from about five minutes into it until the closing credits.

Same here.

But a few books and movies really upset me at the time: eg, The Razor's Edge (S. Maugham), Rebecca (D. du Maurier), 1984 (G. Orwell), Christ Recrucified (N. Kazantzakis)...
and the closing scenes in "Titanic".

Ethan Frome and Lust For Life made me cry deeply. Unrequited love always gets to me. Speaking of which.......

A couple of books have made me cry. The only one I can remember right now i Gone with the wind. Ive never cried like that over a book. It was ofcource in the end that I cried. I was just so much into the book, I mean really absorbed. I really expected Scartlett to get Rhett, and then she didnt... oh mygod. So sad. There is some negative things about that book, but Mitchell has surely managed to write it well.

Well I knew from the movie that Scarlet (can you tell me why oh why here she's called Rossella??? Why translating names???) wouldnt get Rhett (who remains Rhett...), but the book made me cry more than the movie anyway... I remember especially the fact of how she realised that Melanie (was this the name?) was a source of strength to her, while she had ated her all the time... and how she realised it only when she dies... And how she FINALLY understand that she doesn't love that gayly-named ;) Ashely, but that wonderful Rhett...hmmm... I wanna see the movie again. LOL I detest romantic movies, this is the only one I like.

Gone with the Wind is the only romantic movie I ever got into, too.

I was reading a book today, and I don't know why but this one scene almost made me cry. It's called "Priestess of Avalon" and in the scene the main characters "man" marries another woman for the sake of the empire. Yes, it sounds really silly, but I am really into that book so I felt bad for her.
