readers advisory for all discussion

I'm just going to say, the last 50 pages of The Fault in our Stars are hell. It doesn't stop. You cry ugly like when you rewatch My Girl and Vada mentions Thomas J's glasses.

Eleanor and Park is a book where you laugh til you cry then cry til you laugh.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Weetzie Bat. Every Day. Paper Towns.

If you've never cried while reading, you're not fully into the story.
Crying can be good sometimes. I thank you if you can share.

I don't suppose most people would associate crying with military science fiction, but I recently finished reading a book that had me actually sobbing. Mission of Honor is the 12th (maybe 13th) book in the Honor Harrington series, and it's about war in space so you can probably imagine what it was that had me crying. Not unexpected in war, you may say, but after 12 books many of the characters seem like close friends.

Most recently, I shed some dignified tears at a very unexpected moment in An Ember in the Ashes. And I full-on ugly cried for a day after The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Freaking amazing book if you slightly ignore the middle.

I think that the only book that ever made me cry was Of Mice and Men, the last few pages.

You are so right about My Girl! :(

mccarthy's The Crossing and Cities on the Plain. the first crushes your soul, the next crushes your heart.

The original novella version of "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes. I read it when I was 12 years old and cried.

Not a teardrop since.

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

I know it will sound weird but I cried a lot reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King

When I was a young girl, and needed a story that I knew would make me cry I read Kipling's "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep". You don't want to abuse a child who grows up to be an author.
