No book has made me cry, although The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea is a very sad book.

Woah! That's a big picture you've got there. Have you read the guidelines by any chance?

books that made me cry are
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck which although i haven't read the book yet we watched the DVD yesturday in English and tears were rolling down my face and i am possitive i will cry aswell once we read it.
Harry Potter and The Half Blooded Prince by J.K.Rowling i cried right at the end when Dumbledore died
Hanibal by Thomas Harris. i thought that was really sad, but in a romantic/wierd way. anyway, once i finished reading it it was like 2 in the morning and i was meant to be in bed (i read in bed with the light of landing light to aid me) and i just started crying my eyes out. i had to go downsatairs to sit on my dad's knee  and i told him i had had a bad dream, hahaha

Of Mice and Men was sad, I cried a few times with that one. Also The Outsiders (like ten years ago) made me tear a little.
And I agree with Circus.....Night was also very sad.

As for me, I've felt deep sadness in the fifth Harry Potter book for obvious reasons.

Some may not realize this, but Stephen King is an excellent plucker of emotions, and he is quite skilled at writing love stories.
The Dark Tower, all seven volumes, made me tear somewhat. They characters in his magnum opus series are the strongest I have ever read. I simply love them. In addition, Lisey's Story made me cry a touch, also by King.
The Long Walk- Stephen King
Cujo-Stephen King
The Road-Cormac McCarthy
The Plague- Camus
In Cold Blood- Truman Capote

Agreed. Bag of Bones and Rose Madder were fantastic reads.
I would have to add One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Koontz.

I didn't finish that one all the way last time... was that the one about the blind man, or the little girl that lives in a trailer park?
