Books that have made you cry?

[Savant Chanelle]

I cry at so many books that I have lost count but the ones that I found heart wrenching are "In the Memory of the forest" by Charles T Powers (one of the most amazing books I have ever read) and "Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources" by Marcel Pagnol. But I also have to admit that the James Herriot books made me laugh and cry in equal measure.

The Great Gatsby. The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. The Time Traveler's Wife. Oh, if u want to know about soul crushing, sobbing till you're light headed with the hiccups; Atonement. OMG. It's old yeller for grown-ups.

I used to cry about books all the time in middle school. Almost every John Green book, any y/a novel where one of the characters died, etc. When I got into reading again a few years ago, I read The Song of Achilles, and it literally broke me. I couldn’t even think about it, or I would start crying. Since then, no other book has made me cry, and I’m not sure if the books I’m reading just aren’t sad enough or if The Song of Achilles literally just broke me.

this was a few years ago during lockdown, when i had school via zoom. i was reading while doing work, and this one book, “if i can’t have you” by Federica Bosco, made me ugly cry. but my tears were rapidly overcome when the book had an open ending - i was so annoyed.

The book that made me cry was Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. It perfectly describes the condition of people lacking meaning and purpose in a modern alienated society. It describes the loneliness in a marriage and the bitter consequences of people blaming each other for their own unhappiness. Despite the bleakness of the subject matter the writing is almost unbearably beautiful. The moments of promise and between the two characters is devastatingly fragile and as tender as a half-remembered dream. It's a beautiful book.

Kingdom od Ash, many times. It wasn´t sad (at least not too much), it was just really tense and so full of emotions that I couldn´t stop myself. That never happened to me before.

I cry so easily, but I think the one I remember crying the most for recently was Daughters of the Dragon by William Andrews. Such a hard book to read but taught me so much about the history and how horrible it was!

My Trip to Adele. This is not a tragedy book. But I cried reading this book, realizing the value relationships, and we know the value to those relationships, we lost them. Especially I got very emotional reading the story of Elias and Mallika in that book.

A Thousand boy kisses by Tillie cole is painful read for me because at end main character dies from cancer.

It's a weird feeling, but it happens when a story is really powerful. You get so wrapped up in it that you start to feel like you know the characters and care about what happens to them. Even though it hurts, you keep reading, hoping things will turn out okay in the end. This happened to me while I was reading, "Deadly Waters the Vietnam Naval War and its Aftermath" by Randy Miller.
