The Pigman made me cry so much. Maybe it was just my raging hormones. It was so sad.

Well, the first book to make me cry was Charlotte's Web. Second-grade teacher read it in class.

Victoria at Nine is a terrific book that has me crying (with relief/joy, when things turn around) each time I read it.

Man of La Mancha will make me cry if I read it silently -- if I sing it, I can release the emotion that way instead.

Can't sing Cyrano de Bergerac, so that does it to me every time.

There was a good book I read just recently that had tears streaming down my eyes . . . but I'm dashed if I can remember what it was! That's ridiculous.

I think the only book that made me bawl was Letters from the Inside by John Marsden. The end is so sad.

One of the Laureen McDaniel books made me cry. That's the only one I can remember. One of the Angels Trilogy ones, I think.

Edit: And A Child Called It, as I just realized I posted on the 5th page.

That one made me cry too!!!

So did To Kill A Mockingbird... The trial scene...*sigh*

Have you read his other books? They have an annoying habit of making me cry...Checkers is the worst, I think.

Lets see... I remember crying after reading Bridge to Terabithia in about the 5th grade. That was the first book that ever brought tears to my eyes. That same year I read Where the Red Fern Grows and was bawling like a baby Also To Kill a Mocking Bird touched me. Fantasy wise... the Rhapsody trilogy by Elizabeth Haydon. It was a very emotional series. Same as the Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier. I loved those books. Oh, and definitely The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. Some others that might have brought tears to my eyes, but I can't specificly remember, are A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin, Wizard of the Grove by Tanya Huff, and the Shannara series by Terry Brooks. And also The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. But the one that really takes home the cake is The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. This is the last book from His Dark Materials trilogy- my favorite series. I couldn't hold the tears back worth my life after finishing this one

I'm incredibly weird. I almost never cry from reading something incredibly sad. I can get depressed, but I won't cry. I just can't get emotional enough about depressing things unless its incredibly almost suicidally depressing. No, what almost always seems to bring a tear to my eye is a point in a story where everything seems to be at its utmost low or you think that the character will never be happy again, but then something happens that's so inspirationally happy and shows the inner strength of the character that I truly can't keep my emotions in anymore. I think Magic's Pawn, the first book from the Last Herald Mage trilogy by Mercedes Lackey, made me cry. The ending of Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies did it for me too. Hm. I think a few scenes from The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin. Harry Potter OOTP got me to cry...but not the part you are thinking of I can tell you that for sure.

And if that's not bad enough, I just finished Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett and the end of that received a tear....
I'm so weird.

I've read most of his well-known books(So Much to Tell You, the Tomorrow series and a few others) but not Checkers yet. I'm heading over to the library this afternoon, so I'll pick it up.
If Checkers is like John Marsdens other books, I think I'll be set for many moody days afterwards. Sad books really get to me.

Jacqueline Wilson's Vicky Angel. I didn't expect to cry -- I haven't cried over a book since I was eleven. I found myself all miserable and teary at the end of it.

I just cried reading a book this weekend. I was reading A Clockwork Orange (which I really recommend), and was sniffling a little during the parts when they were ruining music for Alex. And I was about to break out in complete tears at the end of the big meeting where Alex was displayed and they said that the method worked and the chaplain replied with "God save us, it does." or something along those lines.

Now I'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and I already am feeling sorry for everyone.

Oh, word. I even hate spiders, and that book makes me cry.

The only other book I can think of offhand that made me cry was A Prayer for Owen Meany.

Yeah, that stuff gets to me too (Victoria at Nine and Man of La Mancha on my list are definitely in that category).

I just finished the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb, and I'm so glad I didn't read the ending at school, lol. I was crying my eyes out... Such a sad ending

I know exactly how you feel. I cried too. Just wait until you get to the Tawny Man trilogy though. I cried so much during that trilogy.
