    Paula by Isabel Allende. This book had me constantly crying, something about going thru your child's death touched a nerved on me. Tons of books make me cry, because I'm a sentimentalist, however this one had me running thru kleenex like they would be water.

    Yeah actually I just read Everything is Illuminated (also by Foer) and that made me cry.

    But I'm a big cryer generally.

    A big laugher too

    Aunty-Lion...Everything is Illuminated made me laugh more...though it was very sad..I didn't cry. I found a lot of that book hilarious

    I don't think I've ever actually cried over a book, but I do get a little choked up. I have to put the book down and pace around a bit, then. The end of The Return of the King gets me, as do parts of The Once and Future King (especially in the last part, "A Candle in the Wind.")

    I'm really surprised to see people listing Siddhartha. The book had its emotional moments, but the narration always seemed so distant to me that I didn't invest any emotion into the character Siddhartha.
    "Our little systems have their day;
    They have their day and cease to be:
    They are but broken lights of thee,
    And thou, O Lord, art more than they."

    Little Women. I'm usually a fairly staid person, but not when I read that!
    "The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    Gaston Leroux' "Phantom of the Opera".....every time I read it.....the more layers unfolded....and the romance of the story became more powerful than the tragedy of it! I just hate to see a good man go to waste! And the Phantom had the potential to be greater and more compassionate than he was allowed.......
