which book have you read that has touched you the most and just made you cry for ages for me it just has to be magic's price by merecedas lackey i cry everytime i think about it.
 
Probably Was by Geoff Ryman. It's a very dark and sad book but it is beautiful and brilliant. Although Lovely Bones has some very sad bits. Especially the first chapter :)
 
I usually don't cry over books, but 'The Discovery of Slowness' by Sten Nadolny made me cry so much! The last part of the book was so sad, all the struggling of the main character and still he did not achieve what he wished.
 
I bawled my eyes out during Robin le proscrit. It was a tragic, but beautiful ending to a marvellous book filled with such real characters. The only problem was that I was reading it in the laundrymat and no one around me understood why I was crying.
 
Sara Payne: 'A Mother's Story'

So Sad! But full of Courage, Dignity, Hope and Inspiration ​
 
The first book that made me cry: Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: World's End.
I also cried while reading Anne Rice's Beauty's Release & constantly throughout Stephen King's The Dark Tower. (But I cry with almost all of his books-I'm such a baby :p )
 
I cry whenever I read abot the holocaust. The sheer number of deaths makes me shudder for humanities sake.
 
The Choice - Henry Dunker! I read this book in one day and I was crying for the whole day! Can't believe I cried so much! :eek:
 
The first book that made me cry was Watership Down, but I was only about seven at the time! I also cried a bit at Stephen King's Firestarter, and didn't actually cry but sniffed a lot at the end of Trudi Canavan's The High Lord.
 
I read the series of books by David Pelzer 'A child called it' ect. Was very sad and got me extremely emotional.

Also 'P.s I love you' by Cecelia Ahern put a lump in my throat a few times. :(

yes alot of people who have read that book say it very sad but just never get round to round to reading it myself :rolleyes:
 
Without a doubt, the most thoroughly depressing book must have been "The Jungle", by Upton Sinclair. I was pretty young when I picked it up, and going through some hard times myself. I don`t recall that I was even able to finish it. I`ve since learned that it was a pitch by Mr. Sinclair as an endorsement for Socialism. I don`t remember crying, OR thinking of it in political terms, but as far as human values, it was damned disturbing!
 
the books that make me cry all have epilogues that go many years into the future. epilogues like that make me so sad, i don't know why. Beyond the Burning Time made me cry, and so did Snowfall. i can't remember any others right now, i have such a bad memory.
 
Dee Brown's Bury My heart at Wounded Knee – the story of the crimes done to the Native American peoples. Made me weep – partly from sheer anger.

In terms of fiction, Terry Pratchett often throws a moment of pathos into his Discworld books that catches me unawares and makes my eyes prick – the moment in Reaper Man where the old woman dies is just such a moment (only Pratchett could make Death such a superb and multi-faceted character), while the moment in Witches Abroad where the Red Riding Hood woolf basically asks Granny Weatherwax to kill it is another.
