I know exactly how you feel.I cried too. Just wait until you get to the Tawny Man trilogy though. I cried so much during that trilogy.
Well, I'm buying that trilogy next time I'm book shopping, so I guess I have a few more tears to look forward to
The worst part was, at the begining of the third book I thought "Heh, watch Burrich and Molly fall in love." Such irony...

Several people have mentioned Bridge to Terabithia. That book was one I read in college for an Elementary Education Literature course. I cried like a baby, and I was well over the intended age for its audience (I was 20 years old at the time). More recently, I also got kind of misty reading Life of Pi. I highly recommend it (and it probably wouldn't make anyone but me cry).
Kind of off topic, but I've compiled a list of books from here that I'm going to request at the library... I guess I like weepy books.

Haha, so do I. You really have to admire an author who is able to move people to tears using just words. It's an art, one I hope to learn someday. Although I lean more to the fantasy genre, emotion is universal. Few movies, tv shows, etc can move me as some books do, so why not read them?

The book that I read just resently was a huge tear jerker, at least for me. It was Todd McCaffreys new book Dragonsblood.
(for those that don't know he's Anne McCaffreys son who writes the Dragon Riders of Pern series)
I swear I think I cried though most of that book...and couldn't put it down, I started reading at around 12 midnight and finished somewhere around 4a.m.
It was a rather good book I thought, don't know if I can bear to read it again anytime soon like I canwith Anne McCaffreys books...maybe the next one he wrights...

I don't really cry, but I have read some really sad books. Like The Man who Loved Clowns the title of the book was something like that, that was sad.

I cried when I read The Outsiders. The part when Johnny and Dally died.

I cried when I read the fifth Harry Potter book... not sure why.
Also during The Time Traveler's Wife when Henry gets his feet amputated because he got frostbite. It was so sad because you had no idea it was coming, but you suspected that you should have.

As many, many people have already said, A Child Called It is the only book I can readily recall making me cry, except maybe the sequel, The Lost Boy. It's really hard for a book to make me cry. Or a movie, or anything for that matter...it has to be really sad to have that effect on me. XD

I read that book for school, I didn't cry at all, it was sad, but I just don't cry.

Stories with dogs or cats or any pets dying. I am weird...
The Last Battle, Chronicles of Narnia-- *SPOILERS* not when all of the wonderful characters died, but when Susan don't believe in Narnia anymore. It is sooo sad, she was once one of my fav characters. However, I think this is a wise arrangement of the author.
Gone with the Wind-- not when the people die, but at the ending
Wuthering Heights-- *spoiler* when heathcliff and Catherine die
I did not cry when reading any of the Harry Potter books...
There is a short story called the Scarlett Ibis (you can find it free online, I believe) that makes me cry. :
Sometimes I think I am mad... when I find books that make me cry, I enjoy reading them again and again and cry again and again, on purpose.

Angels Watching Over Me by Lurlene McDaniel
I read this book when I first got it, when I was like 12, and I was just like meh. But this winter I woke up one day and it was just sitting there on my bookshelf, so I grabbed it and I read the whole thing and I was crying by the time I got through it a couple hours later.

I thought I was the only one to have gone all teary at that ^_^ Especially when she got hit by the car.

I cried at the end of "It Happened to Nancy." Basically the book is about a girl who gets AIDS, falls in love but knows she will never be able to marry the one she loves because she'll never live that long. The part that made me sob hysterically was at the end it has questions Nancy asked. One was, "How will my mom clean my room when I'm gone?" She is instructed that her mom will have to wear gloves and a protective suit just in case, but then says, "no matter what will be in your room after you are gone, it will always be special. Because you were once in it."
Ohh boy, I'm getting a little teary eyed. I guess it's only sad if you read the book, but such a simple line got to me. Nancy was such a great character, I loved her.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I cried in Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. And a few Fearless books. And one of the Sweep books. I love sad books.

Well, I just posted in What Books Are You Reading? Because I just finished 'The Lottery' by Beth Goobie. There were a couple points where I got kinda teary, so while I was reading, I thought I wasn't going to post on this thread, BUT then I got to this one part and I just started crying. So I had to share.
