Books that made you cry

The ending was kind of confusing to that, but after I went back to it I understood and thought that I just really connected with the book. It's definately goning to sty with me forever and be one of those that I read all the time! I felt so sorry for him when he ordered that prostitute I was willing him not to go thrugh with it!

Catcher in the Rye had me close...very close

Clare's War by Anita Burgh

The only book to ever make me cry is The Dark Tower. Am I the only one?

Little Women
Dr. Zhivago
Return of the King LOTR
Mice and Men
The Talented Mr.Ripley
Ripley's Game
The Colour Purple
Rebecca
Anil's Ghost

I could go on for ever, but I'll just stop here.......

Snic19,

Certainly not. Wept openly during the fourth book and my cheeks remained moist throughout the last part of the seventh.

I'm surprised. 'The Catcher in the Rye' is the only book I read that didn't got me mushy. Probably because the cynical way it's written. It doesn't really invites a "crying-mood" if you know what I mean. It was very absorbing, though, **SPOILER AHEAD** I was even slightly vexed when he broke the record he bought to Phoebe.

The Outsiders made me cry, and so did The Notebook, granted, I only saw the movie, and I heard the book was better, so I would be bawling like a baby had I read the book.

Yes, I found the book's author, A Death In The Family, as James Agee, too, amuse.
