Has a book ever made you cry?

[Talon_Skywarp]

The end of His Dark Materials trilogy.

It actually crushed me.

 

[meditator101]

Honestly? I sobbed in response to "Frankenstein"

The whole situation sucks for all the characters involved!

 

[Harlemura]

Not that I recall.
Since I feel the need to bring it up in nearly every book thread, Skulduggery Pleasant certainly made me sad. Especially near the end of the most recent one, Mortal Coil, when...

Spoiler

we're told Tanith is probably bound to the remnant for good.
Don't know why Tanith coming back to visit Valkyrie made me even more sad. I'm such a sap...

 

[Vesamne]

"Of Mice and Men"

"Atonement"

"The Kite Runner"

"Oscar and the Lady in Pink", by Eric-Emmanuel Schmidt (one of the best writers of our time, in my opinion)

 

[Tucker154]

At the end of the prologe of Halo: Ghost of Onxe shed a few tears because of the thought of something like that happening,but other than that,no.

 

[Nietz]

Elizabite by H.a Rey made me cry when I was young. can't really remember why though.

 

[JackRyan64]

Where the Red Fern Grows. God DAMN that was way worse than Old Yeller.

 

[dark metal prince]

Many times. Hell, I cried just a couple of days ago reading The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. Kvothe's story can really tug at my heartstrings at times.

It's out already?!!! Sweet!!

The finale of the Bartimaeus series. Third book, Ptolemy's Gate, ending thereof. You know the one. If you ever read the series, anyway, which you should.

The very last paragraph, right? Same here. Did you hear there's a new Bartimaeus book out?

I've never actually cried, but I've come close because of the following books:
The Pigman
The Pigman's Legacy
Of Mice and Men

 

[Detective Prince]

The Sight by David Clement-Davies, one chapter in that book has me in tears EVERY time I read it :'(

 

[Cogwheel]

That hammered it home, but really, it stated from the moment when I realized that

Spoiler

No, Nathaniel didn't survive.

Also, I'm aware that there's a new book. Seeing as I'm poor, though, I won't be getting it for some time.

I've never actually cried, but I've come close because of the following books:
The Pigman
The Pigman's Legacy
Of Mice and Men

Ow. That book.

"Tell me about the rabbits"?

 

[Joepow]

The endings of the sixth Harry Potter book and the second His Old Materials book brought tears to my eyes.

 

[Zaverexus]

I've read a ton of books, but oddly enough it was Among the Hidden at a certain event I won't give away if you haven't read it (you'll know if you had). Closest a book has ever come to making me cry, though I held it back because I happened to be sitting in the men's locker room at the time.

Not only that, but the combination of Bartimaeus' personality, combined with the ambiguous last phrase (I don't know how to put the spoiler thing) that leaves you wondering if he considered him in the same way as Ptolemy, and the overall picture.

That sucks dude, where I live it's quite expensive, so I might wait a bit too.

Oh yes, the rabbits... :/

 

[beer_nuts]

the god delusion....

when dawkins speaks of a group of christians in the US who murdered 2 doctors because they were linked to performing abortions...

it made me weep a little. how could they take a life away so brutally, for the cause of saving potential life....

 

[Mr Somewhere]

Various works by Mr. Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Martian Chronicles in particular. he has a unique unparalleled touch I can only describe as human. Very easily my favourite writer. A great storyteller, with a keen understanding of human emotion.

 

[Kuroneko97]

Harry Potter did.

You all know which part ;_;

Edit: Actually multiple parts, but the specific ones are still obvious.

That. And some moments in the Series of Unfortunate Events.

When I was about ten I cried while reading the first Darren Shan book. At the part where he's faking his death and is awake and aware during his own funeral.

And this, but I mostly cried in the later books. I know the last one was the one I cried at the most, and in the ninth book where...aw, that might spoil it for some. But those who have read it know...*sniff*

 

[Kuroneko97]

Whoops. I've posted twice, it seems. Sorry about that.

 

[Rooster893]

Martin the Warrior.

Spoiler

Why did Rose have to die? Q__Q

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

The Stand - Stephen King

Spoiler

When Nick dies from the bomb going off....heart breaking for me. I loved him, he's awesome

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Yup. Someone hit me around the head with a dictionary and it fucking hurt.

Sorry.

And the bit at the end of The Road.
