Time Traveler's Wife, excellent read. I hate though when you want that happy ending and it never comes. I of course cried when Dumbledore died. He was 1 of my favorite characters of all time. MM

'Sleepers' would be the first book that I remember making me cry. I also cried when I read 'A child called it'. They both made me feel sick too.

Black Beauty i used to cry at, but i have misplaced my copy  One that never fails yet is the "Lioness Rampant" when Faithful (a really sweet cat introduced in book 2) is murdered heartlessly...animal deaths especially cats make me cry...(Sookie Stackhouse Book 1) Green Mile is also very heart wrenching. The one i remember crying at most though is "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold ... it is such a well written and moving tale that it really gets to you.

One part of 'Just So Stories'- Kipling wrote the stories for his daughter Josephine who died, and she is Taffy in How the Alphabet was Made. In the poem On Merrow Down he describes how Taffy 'lights her little brushwood fires To show her Daddy where she flits And far, so very far behind So far she cannot call to him Comes Tegumai alone to find The daughter who was all to him.'
Then there's Shakespeare's King John - 'Grief fills the space left by my absent child'
I have to go and find a box of tissues

Every single one of the 6 'Duncton' books by William Horwood, but most especially when Tryfan lays dying and Mayweed comes to help him towards the light (I have tears falling now just thinking about it).
I have just reread them all and, although, I enjoyed Watership Down, I feel that the lives of the moles are so much more enthralling, I know for a fact that I live with them through every deed. So much so that over the years I have visited as many of the stones as I have been able. Sad to say that I have never touched the Duncton Stone.
Off to get a tissue now.........

i beg to differ, my friend once wrote a story in which he killed and reincarnated one person 17 times, then blew up the entire world with only him left alive. he does strange things like that.

I have just finished Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and I cried in the last chapter. Have not cried over a book in a long time.

Yeah, My Sister's Keeper made me cry at the last chapter too. I don't usually cry over books. Harry Potter 7 was a little sad because it was the end and there was a lot that happened.

WOW this is sad, and it probably isnt conisdered a book, but the Making of the Black Parade book made me cry! Mainly becuase of everything they went through to make the album, the mental illness they were plagued with and the things that are said.

Ok, I cried during Dobby's funeral in Deathly hallows. She did a beautiful job. The last book that made me cry was Time Travelers Wife. I loved that book.

It doesn't really take much to make me cry, but the ones that really stick in my head are the 5th and 7th Harry Potters (I wont say why incase you've not read it!!)
Lovely Bones
My sisters keeper, which is one of my all time favourite books, if you've not read it make sure you do!!
And To kill a mockingbird

"All the Weyrs of Pern" by Anne McCaffrey. I always cry at the end. Also the end of the "Queen of the Orcs" trilogy.
