What books have been able to make you cry?
I cried like a baby during The Book Thief as well as Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I'm sure I cried at parts during other books but those are the two I remember crying the most while reading.
I'll man up and confess:-The Time Traveler's Wife killed me during the miscarriage time period.
-The end of My Sister's Keeper (while very cookie-cutter and predictable) still kind of got to me.
Ah that's another one that made me cry..The Time Traveler's Wife!! Props to you for manning up and confessing!haha What is it with guys and crying? It's a natural human emotion..it's sad that guys feel like they have to be ashamed.
~The Book Thief
~Harry Potter (I cried when Dumbledore died. And when the Weasley twin died.)
There are more I'm sure, but those are all I can think of at the moment.
I've heard alot of people say that they have cried during The Book Thief. I was glad I wasn't alone. I just remember I stayed up late one night..like 4 am to finish it and I was just bawling like a baby.
-The Time Traveler's Wife
-The Lovely Bones (at the end)
I know there are more but I'm having a brain freeze.
I am a real emotional person, and when I read a book that captures my attention like not many do, I cry when sad things happen. The Hunger Games and Cathing Fire are two books that made me cry. Of course there are others, but I cant remember them all, the list goes on and on. Okay, maybe not that long, but it seems that way.
The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I bawled like a baby at the end. Kissed by an Angel collection by Elizabeth Chandler. That book actually upset me so much that I could not keep it. lol. A sweet cat is brutally murdered and it was described in detail. I just can't handle that ever!
I've only managed to actually fully cry on one book so far and that's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when my favorite character died...and then I practically bawled.
Where the Red Fern GrowsPtolemy's Gate
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Possession: A Romance
Idlewild
Edenborn
My Sister's Keeper, not for the story, but because the brother's parts were always so sad.
Nineteen Eighty-Four
The Time Traveler's Wife
Never Let Me Go
I'm sure there are more...
Where the Red Fern Grows
Message in a Bottle
Bridge to Terabithia
On My Honor
The Lovely Bones
Freak the Mighty
Marley & Me Love and Life with the World's Worst Dog
Of Mice and Men
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
...just to name a few! Haha. I am the worst crier when it comes to books! I think I criend the hardest at Marley and Me. Man, that book was sad!
I've never actually cried, but I must say I shed a tear or two with Great Expectations. Jorge Amado's Capitães da Areia got me really close to it as well.

i cried when the dog got cut open by that lion... i didnt want to read it because i was embarassed that i cried=(
off the top if my head...a couple of the Harry Potters, Love Is a Mix Tape Life and Loss, One Song at a Time, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, A Child Called "It" One Child's Courage to Survive, Walk Two Moons, The Time Traveler's Wife...so many others i'm just not thinking of
Books that made me cry? Too many...
Chinese Cinderella The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter- I pretty much cried non-stop in that.
A Man Named Dave A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness
A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry- that book is so sad!
Before I Die- When her younger brother says 'Haunt me if you want. I don't mind'..it's so sad! I skipped my friends 18th birthday (which she doesn't know about, she thinks I was sick) but really I was reading that book!
Oh, and The Amber Spyglass
Also, a few of the Harry Potter books..tonnes more....Wuthering Heights, especially the speech that Heathcliff makes in ch.16. I HATE Catherine!
Emily wrote: "Oh yeah, I forgot about The Amber Spyglass. I cried like a baby."Gah. Glad I'm not the only one. I just finished listening to all of the books (the audio book is excellent) and I cried. Probably not the best thing considering I was driving...
Books don't make me cry but sometimes I will read a book where it has a scene that makes me cry. For example in "Chosen" of the House of Night Series, one the characters dies and dies in her friend's arm(sorry can't remember the names). The scene was written so well that it felt like I was actually there watching it and it brougt some tears to the brim of eyes.
I don't really cry while reading books, but I definitely teared up at the end of Forever Odd by Dean Koontz. I think this one got to me more than the first one did, for some reason. I'm sure there are others, but Forever Odd was the most recent.
I very rarely cry while reading, but the one particular moment that stands out in my memory is when I was finishing up Les Miserables in school... I was literally weeping so hard that I had to put my head down on the desk to hide it.
