The second one being The Dark Side of Midnight: by Sidney Sheldon made me cry aloud as we come across the dark side of the life of women if they wish to be successful in life.

I agree. A masterful writer. I am looking forward to reading Her Fearful Symmetrybest4buys wrote:The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger made me cry and moved me to think about a number of deeper issues in life and about the true meaning of love in a romantic relationship. Audrey Niffenegger did a beautiful job taking some of the most complex ideas - time travel, marriage, love, children, friends, literary and artistic allusions, religion, death, drugs, childhood, growing, loss, and what it means to be human - and weaving them together poetically and with amazing clarity.

As a child, about 10 years old I can remember being deeply upset and weeping over the departure of the mouse Reepicheep in the CS Lewis book 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'... he sailed away into the sunset never to be seen again.

i have now read my sisters keeper three times and have cried every time at different parts. i love that book so much!FiveK wrote:Most recently, My Sister's Keeper made me cry tears of fury.
What sets apart the books that make you cry? Affection for the characters? Style of writing? Are people who cry when they read books just more emotional?
the books that make me cry are the ones that really touch you, or are close to home in some way. a lot of it has to do with the words chosen too...sometimes just beautiful writing makes me cry if its just perfect.
but i am not overly emotional. i can watch hallmark commercials without kleenex anyways, which seems to be a good gauge....
