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?

The Ginger Man by J.P. Donleavy, I just read it then reread it for almost three years now.
