how many of you have shed tears while reading a book?

[Ankit]

Jhumpa Lahri .. Namesake

[Venky]

Top 3 melancholy inducing candidates:

1. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich;
2. D-Day (The Anthony Beevor edition); and
3. The Old man and the Sea

[Ahtims]

Shoa :P
Somehow I have non-working tear glands, at least when it comes to emotion in books.

A Fine Balance.... By Rohinton Mistry

U & Me forever this way
www.nidhisuraj.com

There are so many Love Stories in this world. Few stories become so famous but few are unsaid and been buried with time. Few others share their love stories with their friends, while some leave them as sweet memories for themselves within their hearts and few narrate to their grandchildren.

But I want this world to know this sweet love story that I am going to narrate in this book. This is a story about, how a young innocent couple met in their childhood in teens and led a journey of love until their marriage crossing many hurdles.

It is not usual that the child inside you is alive until your end, but if you have any person in your life who could give life to the child inside you, then I bet that he/she is your soul mate. It is tough to find such person, if you fortunately got such person in your life, never ever miss him/her for any reason.

Here the couple struggled through many problems to keep their child inside alive, to keep up their relation, to keep running behind each other until death, to witness each other’s love forever.

Yeah ,many times.. Nicholas Sparks novels always do that for me !! I used to stifle the tears most of the time ,but sometimes it gets too much for me !! Sadly, i love all the books which makes me cry !!!

[Santhi]

Yup, Me before you - the ending really got to me despite being an ok story overall.

Nicholas Sparks books especially The Wedding!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - tears of laughter and grief

[Tavleen]

I cried a lot after finishing Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. The Fault in our stars, Looking for alaska by John Green also made me cry.

[Mrunalsinh]

When I was of 15 in schooldays. I was cried when I read all books of Sudha Murthy. In all book they wrote about Indian wife's living & she wrote so Emotionally so I cried first time while reading book

[Rishabh]

I cried profusely during Ravinder Singh's book I Too had a love story .

[Bhanuj]

I think I cried reading "the fault in our stars" and while reading the last fight scene in Harry Potter when everyone from the forest comes out for a fight. That was an emotional scene for me.

[Hydrogen]

TFIOS- that scene where they read the eulogy... and the gus's letter to Peter Van Houten... that did it to me...

[Debashish]

The ending of A Tale of Two Cities ... Heartbreaking is the word. I think the only book that made me tear up.

[Pankaj]

Almost all Harry Potter books, I too had a love story - Ravinder Singh, and The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks.. :)

[Priyanka]

The most recent one that really got to me was Under A Painted Sky. God how I love that book.

[Pankaj]

Yeah, Rishabh, me too.. you really feel pity for the author and he's narrated it sincerely too.. :)

[Pankaj]

I cried the most in my life after hearing about Snape's back story in Harry Potter. I can still remember the pain and emotion.. especially in this part

Dumbledore: Still, after all these years?
Snape: Always

That really wrenched my heart and I'd wailed like a baby.

[Pankaj]

Yes, Vasundhara, and even for Dobby, I remember now. Harry Potter was just amazing. :) I watched all movies, too, many times, some of them alone in theater as my friends wouldn't accompany me to watch a kid's movie. ;)

[Hydrogen]

I so second this Pankaj... but the potter series is more than kids genre.... I


harry potter is a an epic tale

Yes, certainly, Hydrogen, and there are dark, philosophical portions too. Harry Potter is epic for all generations.. Characterization is top class, too. We can't forget the characters even if want to, throughout our lives. Wish J.K.Rowling wrote a sequel.

[Hydrogen]

Pankaj..

well... I believe that all good things must come to an end... and what an ending the HE series had... so I am.glad there is no next potter to wait for...

[Hydrogen]

The HP series (stupid autocorrect)

[Pankaj]

Yes, Hydrogen, truly. It was a fantastic and satisfying ending. All good things must come to an end.. Nice thought.. :)

[Barbara]

*rises hand* for books AND movies. Lost count.

[Manveer]

Happened a lot of times. Sometimes for the emotional moments, sometimes just because a great saga is ending. I can relate to the people saying they cried during The Book Thief and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I did too.

Did Harry Potter make me cry? I'm not so sure. Not any of the deaths definitely. I might have shed a tear or two during The Prince's Tale. I have gone all emotional and stuff reading tons of YA and watching movies.

Other than that I can recount countless times I cried. Heck, I even cried while reading Manga. The one time Naruto kindof meets his mother was one of those times.

[devika devz]

[Priyanka]

I cried the most when I read this book called Me Before You by Jojo Moyes! A beautiful book!

[Madhu]

I cried for Ravinder Singh's I Too Had A Love Story.. &Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

[Madhu]

Oh, how could I forget Harry Potter?

[[deleted user]]

Other than HP, Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold made me cry too. If you ask me, that book is a sure tear-jerker!

adding Annie's Song also to the list!


Not that they're sad, but really bad things happen to ordinary good people and they struggle quite a bit before finding their happiness.

[Sucharita]

The kite runner was a moving story but i couldn't say that i cried. i think i same goes for anne franks diary as well..

[Komal]

I couldn't stop crying while reading Tell the Wolves I'm Home. It is full of emotions, tragic plot, complicated relationships, longing of love and togetherness. A must read I'd say.
