I cry over books regularly. Some that made me sob like a baby are:

The Color Purple
The Kite Runner
A Thousand Splendid Suns
The Secret Life of Bees
Peony in Love
The Power of One
Kaffir Boy
Sophie's Choice

and many more!

I'm reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' right now. So far I think it's much better than 'The Kite Runner' which I felt really seemed to tail off at the end. There's one particular moment '..Suns' which has really got to me so far.

i remember, crying the first time, i heard a favorite author of mines died. i was 8 or 9, at the time, i got heavily into Roald Dahl books, i manage to read about half the ones he wrote. he had an assignment to which we had to invite someone to an imaginary class meeting. i choose him, all the kids looked at me with either angry, or like are you serious kind of a face, they told me he died. i didn't do anything at the time, but in the bathroom, i cried..so yeah, the teacher thought i had the "runs"..but yeah..


i remember bawling as a little kid when my mom told me tolkien was dead. lol hug

douglas coupland's "the gum thief" made me a little teary-eyed here and there, but then he'd get bitter and snarky again, and i could go back to relievedly suppressing my emotions. nod

Yes, I think I liked it a little better than the Kite Runner. What those poor women must endure made me sad, angry and amazed all at the same time. It's my favorite book from 2007.

I got teary eyed over the following:


1) Count of Monte Cristo
2) Ender's Game
3) Speaker for the Dead
4) Odd Thomas falloff
5) The Vampire Lestat rolleyes
6) Novell Zenworks 6.5 Administration - A Comprehensive Guide to Network systems management and Network Identity Management.



I cried my eyes out over odd Thomas. redface boxed

God I sobbed at that one. sad

I cry from a lot of Stephen King books actually. I just finished "Lisey's Story" last week and cried when that one ended too. Such a wonderful story.

Also from "Song of Susannah" from the Dark Tower series. I sobbed from that one too. lol


and people need to shut up about the Harry Potter books because I don't know the whole story yet! pissed hmph!

most recently, the short story "Pop Art" by Joe Hill (who, by the way minneapolisgenius smile, is Stephen King's son) really got to me. it was the best short story i've read in a very, very long time.

I don't think I've ever actually cried over a book that I can recall. But the last one that really got me choked up was the Kite Runner.


Oh, and the first was probably the Dark Phoenix Saga trade paperback. lol
