Oh! I've heard of this book! Who's the author? There's a movie named the same too right.....?

Princess by Jean Sasson is tragic!!!

A Walk to Remember and Lover Story were tragic. Wuthering Heights was also, in a way, tragic.

First few pages of fifty shades..

The Elegance of the Hedgehog and Pere Goriot were my two big sob stories.

The Guardian, The Last Song, A Walk To Remember - love those books!! Love N.Sparks!! :P:P

Ditto!:)

:):) Have you read Nights In Rodanthe?? If you haven't....than you should!!! You'll love it:))

Not yet. I own the movie but I'm saving it until I read the book.

Dear John was so good. A real tear jerker.

Yes, Dear John was beautiful too....

Not the entire book but the tragic end of THE OATH OF THE VAYUPUTRAS was very depressing..Reading the dying moments of Sati was hell..

I agree Prasad... I was almost in tears readin the brutal moments leading to Sati's death :-(

Yes....totally, that part was really sad, and even Shiva's reaction to it..

The very last page of "Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister" surprised me with tears.

I'm pretty tough, actually bullet-proof when it comes to romance & relationships.....there is no lost-love heartbreak story that can affect me. When a love relationship ends I always react with "Well of course....that is how it always ends, what else did you expect? To love each other happily ever after? Get a grip on reality people."

I'm only vulnerable to mother/daughter issues (I love my mom and my daughter very much) and sad animal stories.

When I was a kid...The Bridge to Terebithia.

I've heard a lot about that book! Haven't tried it though.

A walk to remember and The last Song :( I was sad for 2 days when i read Harry Potter and the the Order Of Phoenix .Sirius death was so unexpected :(

The fault in our stars and the kite runner.

It's good. You should try it.

Also cried at "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (6)," "Reading Lolita in Tehran: a Memoir in Books," "The Book Thief," "Mockingjay," "The Grapes of Wrath," "All Quiet on the Western Front," and others.

comes to mind.

Yes...that book was so sad.

The Lovely Bones
Cujo (Sobbed at the end of it)
Boy's Life (Very sad scene in there)

The Lovely Bones was sad indeed.

For me this will be
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

~ the ending got me

I'm a crier in general but it still does take engaging characters to really bring on the tears a few recent ones that come to mind


The more I relate to the character the more I cry. I usually end up with a book hangover after a good tear jerker though :(

I recently read (historic romance). It's a not a tragic story, in fact, it's a beautiful love story, but I'm pretty sure I haven't ever cried reading a book as much as I cried reading this one. It's an emotional roller coaster.

I've been meaning to read Reclaiming the Sand for a long time.

Me and Earl and the Dying girl. Tears were shed

Without a doubt, Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman!!

A walk to remember
