Many, but what always surprises me is how I reacted to the last chapter of Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. There is not a lot of action in the story physically, but so much deep thought throughout the entire story. Ordinary lives aren't action packed anyway so this book is so realistic to me. And the last chapter is so wistful that it really got to me, I thInk in a deeper way than books with an obvious tragedy. It is one of my favorite books and so true to life and the themes are still totally relevant today. I love that last chapter and it always gets to me.

The only book that made me cry BIG TIME was A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I don't usually cry over sad stories but then this one was totally different. If I'm going to read it again I am sure I will have the very same feeling. I've been evading pain and loss over people. It brings out a side of me unto which I don't usually show to people, may they be family, friends or not.

The worst one for me was The Forbidden Game by L. J. Smith. I was sobbing in the middle of school.

The Time Traveler's Wife was definitely a tear-jerker and My Sister's Keeper had me bawling for a little while. I always seem to pick emotional times in my life to read these kinds of things. The cry is very cleansing.

The most recent book that made me cry was The Mistress by Tiffany Reisz. The emotion expressed really struck a chord in my heart. The love that the characters have for each other really reached me.

I read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and it teared me up quite a bit. My heart broke for the characters.

Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata. That book gave me a whole new view on life.

Roald Dahl's novel "My Uncle Oswald." It made me cry... tears of laughter. It's hilarious.

I've just started this book and I began crying on the starting pages

I'm a bit emotional so I usually cry when there are sad moments in everything I read. But I the most recent was when I was reading A Dance with Dragons by George Martin. I have this great love to the Starks so when there are scene/times when they are in the verge of being triumphant, troubled, or in danger, it really moves me.

I can count on one hand how many times I've cried while reading. The Book Thief, The Giver, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. That's it. I usually cry for stupid reasons, too.

Looking for Alaska by John Green made me literally weep. I'm not much of a crier so I was surprised at how much his words could affect me!

Recently read The Book Thief and I bawled my eyes out. If I Stay by Gayle Foreman also made me cry.
