    yepp yepp... It also made me cry!!! A Walk to Remember is such a goooooooood book! Its sooo sad! I also cried in the movie. But don't you think that the movie isn't as good as the book. They changed a lot of things- but it is still sad.
    --I think that guys like the character in A Walk To Remember are rare!!!

    for me, "Peter pan" makes me cry a lot...
    at the last chapter "When Wendy Grow up"
    Wendy grew up, she had her family and litlle child.
    Peter forget to visit her for long time. One day, he came to her and he found that she grew up...she can't fly. Peter was so sad, he cry a lot but Wendy didn't care. now, she is a mother and Peter is just a child...no more than that
    she said that "It is only the gay and innocent and heartless who can fly"

    The Hiding Place, Where the Red Fern Grows and My Brother Sam is Dead. I admit to crying at those. All very good books, some very sad moments.

    Of Mice and Men is a sad book but it didn't make me cry lol.
    I think that George made a mistake by killing Lenny... It wasn't his job and he can't take anyone's life away even if the person doesn'
    t care or know; like Lenny.

    "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. We did this for year 10 English, and most people hated it but I secretly loved it.
    "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by JKR.
    "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by JKR
    "Harry POtter and the Half Blood Prince" by JKR
    "His Dark Materials" by Phillip Pullman
    "White Gardenia"...gosh, I can't remember who it's by!
    "Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. But sometimes it was more bittersweet tears.
    "Looking for Alibrandi" by Melina Marchetta. Same as above
    "The Tomorrow Series" by John Marsden. Particularly when Ellie is thinking about Corrie in the fourth book *grabs tissue* And also I think at the end of "The Third Day, The Frost" and how they got out of Stratton Prison...that made my cry like a baby!
    "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen" I can't remember who it's by either.

    Also there have been A LOT of fanfictions out there that have made me cry *note to self: do not say that too loud on a literature forum full of intelligent people...*
    The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.

    Yeah, George had killed him out of kindness and all but still, Lenny's death was an unecassary tragedy.

    These books also made me cry.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    Sorry, I have not read Mice And Men. I meant HP 4, 5 and 6 made me cry.

    The God of Small Things is a book that comes to mind immediately... I cried more than once while reading it.

    I can't believe someone earlier said they got more emotional over films than books! You can never get so entirely into a character's mind in a film like you can in a novel. Of the novels already mentioned I will admit I've cried at 'The Lovely Bones', 'LOTR', '1984', 'Little Women', 'His Dark Materials' and various 'Harry Potter' books.
    I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned 'The Time Traveller's Wife' yet. I read it recently and cried at several points but was in floods of tears at the end! It left me with that horrible, "I'll never find another novel that good again," feeling you get after you read something amazing.
