Books That Moved You To Tears

Name 'em.

None, honestly.  The last "depressing" or "sad" book that I read was Kite Runner.  A lot of people that I've talked to, who also read the book, said it brought them to tears.  While I thought it was a sad book, I didn't cry.

And I'm not trying to say people that cry are pussies...I'm actually jealous that I cannot have those emotions when it comes to reading sad books or watching sad movies.  =\

excellent book

Netherland by Joseph O'Neil sort of got to me.

I cried during Stephen Erikson's Memories of Ice and McCarthy's The Road.  I hear Hobb's Farseer books are pretty baw worthy too.

Just going by "needed a tissue" instead of a little tearing up, because I'm such a fucking baby:
Most recently Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind and Miéville's Perdido Street Station did it for me. Also, buckets of manly tears have been shed about various of Gemmell's characters' heroics frequently followed by their deaths, but especially while reading Legend. Also LOTR in days of yore when I was but a wee lad.

Hobb in general is one huge bawwww extravaganza. Although mainly by her protagonists themselves - never have I laid eyes upon such an extraordinary collection of total wimps. It baffles me that they didn't self-mutilate, I kept expecting them to finish themselves off to end their misery.

If you must read her, stop after Farseer. Steer way clear of Soldier's Son especially - just some friendly advice.

Haven't teared up over a book, but I felt moved by the chapters relating to Andrei Bolkonsky's process of dying, and death, in War and Peace when I read it several years ago.

Something about the novel Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell completely got to me. Maybe just the beauty of how well Mitchell ties everything together.

There's also this part of the book called Sloosha's Crossin' which really takes you into a tragic post apocalyptic future. Through the dense dialect is the most gorgeous portrait of a barbaric man gaining humanity as his home is overtaken by savages.

I baaawwwed like a baby at the end of The Road. I hope the movie doesn't suck....

I read Of Mice and Men the other day...
*Tear*
So very sad... But so well done!..

Gang Leader for a Day by Suhir Venkatesh

i cried when the gang got broken up

I sometimes cried as a kid at book endings, The Cat who Whished to Be a Man by Lloyd Alexander comes to mind.
I was just so sad that I wouldn't get to hear about any more of the characters' adventures.
