Books that make you cry

to go along with the movies topic

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Dana's Valley by Jannette Oke made me cry the first two times I read it. (I probably would have cried the third time, too, but my sister sent it back to the Library before I got very far into it. :anxious: )

Here's some that made me cry (that I can think of now);

The Last Battle--the whole last chapter
The Giver
Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix and the last one (and the Goblet of Fire now that I think of it--)

Now that everyone's mentioning it: I was 7 when I first had Narnia read to me, and, while I can't remember for sure, I think I did cry at some points of the stories.

I totally forgot about that until it was mentioned here, but I remember the very first time that I read "The Last Battle," I cried. :( I found Susan's attitude very sad, and it was just so sad overall in some ways.

I don't think I've actually cried while reading a book... :anxious:

RotK when Theoden died, and Eowyn was in the houses of healing. I got all depressed.

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
