Top epic novels

By epic I mean books that bring manly tears to your eyes.

So far items from /tv/, /a/, /jp/ and /v/ have had their share of epicness, but I personally have not read any novels that goes beyond just "hmm, it's an interesting story".


Any recommended title that from /book/ that can claim this category?

>LotR, everyone read that already, and you better read it when you're really young, or poor writing will make you cringe at times.

I read it when I was 21 and it didn't bother me at all. Am I just a tasteless philistine?
