What books made you cry??
For me:
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn: When Francis dad died.
The Good Earth: When Olan died. I felt os bad for her.

So how about you guys??

Eagle Strike. I nkow Yaseen gregorovich was a contract killer, but he objected against Damian Cray about killing Alex and Sabina, and Cray killed him with a gunshot. His exact words were "I'm sorry, Mr. Gregorovich. But you're fired."

His father, the deadliest assasin in the world?

Where the Red Fern Grows, I know, typical.
The Outsiders, Shadow of the Hegemon (I've read it twice, already knew she was gonna die before I read it the first time, still cried), umm...wow, this is pathetic. I know there're a lot more, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. =P

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, by Victor Hugo. Probably the only book I've read which made me feel really sad.

the chronicles of narnia, the last battle.
despite knowing how it ended the stark realness of it still gets to me, one minute theyre fighting for narnia, for aslan etc etc.
next theyre all dead bleeding great spears or arrows sticking out of their hides..

There is only one book which I can recall made me cry while reading it. Its called Thunderwith by Libby Hathorn. Basically, the entire book is about this girl seriously struggling to adjust to her new life after her mother dies, the sad part is she loses even more.

Watership Down by Richard Adams made me cry several times the first time I read it.
Bigwig in the snare.
Hazel being shot.
The huge fight at the end (Fiver and Bigwig this time).
Hazel's death at the very end.

I don't think i've ever cried at a book, but I welled up a bit in The Amber Spyglass :oops:

And The Butterfly Tattoo, both by Phillip Pullman.

Oh yeah, Watership down...wonderful book *sniff* I didn't cry that much but it was heart breaking...at least Hazel died naturally...

I think I cried when I read the Pearls of Lutra...very touching :cry:

Ooo...I forgot Watership Down. I cried both times I read it. Excessively. =P

I never can think of stuff, but as soon as people say it, I'll remember. I know there's so much more, I cry far too easily.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Typical response

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, one of my favourite books.

The Outsiders had me bawling throughout the whole thing. Anytime I started to read, when I stopped reading I would be crying.

Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix (Well, doy.

)
Little Women
Bloomability
The Wish (Well, sort of. The ending made me shed a tear or two, I like happy endings.

)
The Two Princesses of Bamarre

About 5 too many.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more.

The Friends
The Outsiders
Bless Me, Ultima

Of Mice and Men got me down, but I didn't cry. I know there's a lot more, I just can't think of them
