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?

I'm reading P.S. I Love You at the mo and its very touching i have to say. And i recently read Love In A Torn Land by Jean Sasson which is an amazing read - heart-wrenching in places. Reply #121. Jan 22 08, 10:06 PM |

"A Take of Two Cities","The Scarlet Pimpernel", and "Pride and Prejudice" Those are my favorite classics and I read them multiple times! :) Reply #122. Jan 28 08, 8:28 PM |

I know it's not a classic but I just read Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner and it's my favorite book ever. It might be the first book I'm willing to read twice. Reply #123. Feb 05 08, 7:57 PM |

A couple of great books by Jon Krakauer are very moving. Into the Wild was just made into a movie last year about a young man who gave away nearly all his possessions and money and went to live the life of a drifter. He touched a lot of people but the story has a tragic ending. It's a true story and a great book. Another Krakauer true story is Into Thin Air, the story of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster. EXTREMELY creepy and heart-breaking, as a "routine" Everest summit attempt goes horribly wrong. Reply #124. Feb 06 08, 11:00 AM |

Lots of books make me cry but the one that springs to mind is The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey. Reply #126. Feb 22 08, 4:02 PM |

Oh, I forgot The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. That book is INCREDIBLY sad, but very sweet and touching, too. Reply #127. Feb 22 08, 4:27 PM |

Jane Eyre- no matter how many times i read it, it always finds a way to tear at my soul. Simply the purest and plainest passion. I love it. Reply #128. Feb 22 08, 10:17 PM |

I refuse to read books with sad endings. If I think there is a risk, I ask someone before I read it! Life is too short to be sad. I know I miss some great books, but it's just not worth it for me. Reply #135. Mar 14 08, 11:17 PM |

Gotta put another vote in for "Love You Forever". Such a wuss - reading a picture book to my kids and the tears just streaming down my face... Reply #139. Mar 27 08, 3:32 PM |

It isn't a sad book, but I cried in The Mediator when Jesse was exorcised. It was so sad because the main character really loved him. :'( Reply #140. Mar 30 08, 8:27 AM |
