"Marley and Me". In fact any book where a cherished pet dies chokes me up.

The Book Thief. Even though I knew what was coming.

Tarka the Otter by Henry Williamson made me cry at the end - it really is the most wonderful evocation of the natural world, and you really identify with the otter.
And then there was The Reckoning by Sharon Penman. This deals with the end of an independent Wales in 1282 as Edward I defeats Llewelyn the Last. I knew the history - I even used to lead castle tours at the castle where the Welsh rebellion started - but I had to sit up into the middle of the night to finish the book, and I cried solidly for the last 200 pages!

I teared up just a little (but didn't actually cry) reading 11.22.63 and that surprised the hell out of me. (The whole book surprised the hell out of me!)

It didn't quite make me cry, but the saddest book I ever read was definitely "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown.

It is about the American Indians in the West, and some of the ways they were treated, culminated with the massacre at Wounded Knee (another one that sticks out is the Sand Creek Massacre - look it up). It was full of stories that makes your stomach turn, hearing the way they were treated.

Several books have had me bawling so my list would be quite long, but the most recent one was "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. The dehuminization of the plot was mind blowing.

I cried all the way through James Patterson's "Suzzane's diary for Nicholas." It was tragic and heartbreaking.

Lots of books have made me cry. I get so emotionally attached to the books that I read I often find myself crying either for a sad reason or a happy one. It's kinda lame sometimes.

I bawled my eyes out in Ayn Rand's "We the Living" when Irina is caught harboring her fiance and wanted counter revolutionary, Sasha. They are placed on a train together, headed for Siberia. They are sentenced to 25 years in prison, but they both know that any sentence is a life sentence. Their families petitioned the government to send them both to the same prison, but the request was denied.

When they reached the train station where they were to take separate trains to their separate prisons it was the most heart wrenching thing I have ever read. I literally just stopped reading and bawled. It was so sad. They never saw each other again.

The Shack by William P. Young. Wow, this book had me in tears several times. I actually had to get it on my ipod because I was driving a lot back and forth to work and driving home at night listening to the main character's pleas for his child and learning to forgive, I was bawling. To go through so much and to learn what he had just made me feel for him. I am not a very religious person or anything like that, but I just really think this book touched me in a way. It was recommended to me by my husband and I was shocked that he would read anything like this, but he says it is in his top 10 favorites. Very touching.
