Books that spill the tears

[nutmeg]

Marley and Me.....pets are my weak point - specially as I have a lab which shows a lot of the same personality.
Couple of the other books mentioned have been close - but I'm not one for crying over books or movies.....

[J'ai Vu Bleu]

I cry at almost everything. Sad, happy, touching... you name it, and I'll probably cry.
A better question to ask me is not "which books make you cry?" But rather "what book have you read recently that HASN'T mae you cry?"

To answer the first question: Any Mitch Albom book, Lord of the Rings, any book that has a happy ending, any book where someone dies, any book where any character is sad, any book without a happy ending... the list goes ever on.

The second: "Him, Her, Him Again, The End of Him" by Patricia Marx. Because it was an absolutely terrible book which did not evoke any emotion from me whatsoever.

I find moments of triumph more emotional than the sad bits...

For instance, in 'Long Walk to Freedom' (Nelson Mandela) when he finally gets out of jail and is greeted by the huge crowds of cheering people...way, way more emotional for me than the hard times he goes through.

I once heard that tears are words that the heart can't say. Quite true, really.

very true i would think, very nice thought.

i like that quote or rather expression. i think that it is true is so many ways. i mean look at when you cry, and most of the time when i do, there aren't words to express how i feel so tears are just the best thing. i haven't cried really hard in like a year and half. but i tear up a lot.

i agree awelker....i love that quote to....

I believe that...my tears certainly say alot.

I definitely teared up in Flowers for Algernon...I usually don't get very emotional but this book completely broke through all vicarious barriers in my head lol.

I never cry when I read books.
But then I read Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks.
That really started the tears.

Aww... don't feel all bad about it Star - crying is good for the heart. And there is something interestingly compelling about crying - it's an expression of emotion that is quite unique. After all how many other emotions result in the eye shedding water?

[sleepydumpling]

Salty water at that!

I second the Mitch Albom books... I don't think I've ever been able to stay dry-faced through any of his novels.

Another book that made me cry was My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I think Picoult has an incredibly strong and sensitive sense of familial love and human relationships, which brings a ready-to-cry-at-any-moment girl like me to tears

Mitch Albom's "For One More Day" almost got me.

He's just another one of them guys representing sportswriters, straight up.

[perksofbeingme]

Time Traveler's Wife for me. That is the last book that i can remember bringing me to tears.

I cried so hard at the end of this book I really enjoyed it also, its a shame she doesn't have anything else out....

In all honesty, a lot of books bring tears for me. I'm not really that emotional of a person but sometimes as corny as it sounds, I really do get that involved in the story.

[RILENTLISS]

To this day I have not read a book that has made me cry, and doubt I ever will. LOL

[fari30]

I have extreme emotions when it comes to books, though full-out crying… I usually don’t do. I cried when I read “The Fault in our Stars” by John Green and “Thirteen Reasons Why” by Jay Asher. My eyes also watered up when I read The Mortal Instruments series, The Infernal Devices and such, but never actually CRIED, just watery eyes.

Oh I love sad books..It's really funny because I can cry over anything in a book.Everyone watches me and starts laughing.I will either cry,laugh or have all different facial expressions going on.
