I like reading sad books, especially books with sad endings, I recently read a book about a troublesome boy who starts to bond with his foster mother only to find she is dying of cancer. I can't remember the name of the book. What books have made you cry?

A "Tale of Two Cities" made me cry, and most of the books in the "Little Britches" series. Also, "Across Five Aprils" and "Billy Budd, Sailor." That one was the saddest of all. Reply #1. Jun 23 06, 8:45 AM |

NIght is about the Holocaust-I was forced to read it in college years ago-I think I've brought 3 copies now. So depressing. Reply #8. Jun 24 06, 7:36 AM |

Seriously, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Excellent writing, simple straightforward tale full of rich characterizations. Won the Pulitzer Prize that year. Very sentimental and wistful. (No crying, but emotional high.) Reply #12. Jun 24 06, 6:35 PM |

"The boy called It" (I think it has a few different names) and "Little boy lost" Reply #13. Jun 27 06, 6:29 PM |

V.C Andrews books always make me teary but when I finished seeds of yesterday, the last book in the Dollanganger series I cried soooo hard. Her books are written from one persons point of view and they start from when the main character (who is usually a girl) is twelve or something and ends in death when she is in between the ages of 40-60.

"The boy called It" That was the one about an abused child, right? Just thinking of it has me in tears, so thanks a lot. Reply #16. Jun 27 06, 6:53 PM |

I thought those V.C. Andrews books were wonderful. I've been reading them since I was like 8. I have a library of her books. The one I cried for was "Flowers in the Attic" when my favourite character died. And also in "Petals on the Wind" when my replacement favourite character died. Reply #17. Jun 27 06, 6:56 PM |

Jane Eyre makes me cry. So does Wuthering Heights. Parts of Last Exit to Brooklyn made me cry, but not the entire book. Reply #19. Jun 27 06, 7:33 PM |

Jane Eyre was a good book! My friends read and thought it was boring. I read it and thought they were out of their minds..in the nicest way possible! Reply #20. Jun 28 06, 12:10 PM |
