[Dragonshy 2,305]

My Little Dashie. If that counts.

[Gingerpotato 889]

The Fault In our Stars or Looking For Alaska both by John Green.

 

Many a manly tear was shed, it really got me at an emotional level and that is no mean feat cause, y'know, I'm all man and I never, ever cry.

[Nah 3,182]

The last two Harry Potter books IMO.

[Ezio Auditore 702]

"For one more day" by Mitch Albom

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

The Death Cure by James Dashner.

[SrFrog 927]

"Breaking Through" by Francisco Jiménez. Mostly because I can sort of relate to what the author went through and also since it was a parting gift from a dear friend.

Okay, this is gonna sound weird, but when I was in grade school, I read this book called "Socks" It was about a cat, and when I got to the part where said cat got trapped accidentally in a mail box I cried for like 30 minutes... I was an emotional person back then, lol. Looking back now, it was a really meh story.

I rarely read, but:

The Scarlet Ibis - James Hurst

Really lacking on the beauty, and more just sad, but as Bill O'Reilly puts it, FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Saddest - Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky

 

Saddest as in it was such a dry read that I was crying from the dryness.

[PonyPassions 32]

Runaway twin by Peg Kehret Its a really sad story at the beginning and the end. But its also very happy at the ending too. Its a really good book. I Suggest it.

[Dr.RedundantPh.D 60]

The silmarilian. So much cursing, dying, betraying, oath making, and torture in just one story. Theres many tragic parts to the story, but an overall theme of hope, which accentuates the previously mentioned actions.

[Commander Bubbles 1,343]

Gee, that's honestly a hard one, as I've read a ton of emotional books. But I'd have to say that Kite Runner was a great read.

[Kazuki Fuse 534]

My Friend Leonard by James Frey. Its the sequel to A Million Little Pieces and follows his life as he continues to live sober and avoid falling back into addiction while at the same time dealing with the suicide of his girlfriend.

Wonder. I don't know who it is by, but it changed me. It is about a boy with a deformed face. It made me cry many a time

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

The first thing that came to mind was the simple yet profound story The Giving Tree. If you didn't read it in elementary school, I recommend giving it a try.

Oh my god. I can't believe someone else on this forum has read that besides me. Amazing, I loved that book dearly as a child and still do.

[SongBrony 419]

For some reason, The Hunger Games. It didn't make me cry, but it definitely had my heart crying. I feel like for some reason it touched my heart the most.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I was already in tears after the dedications. God how I love that book

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

 

The only part of that series that struck me as particularly sad was...

 

 

 

...when Hermione whispered "Obliviate", and wrote herself out of her own life. I was like "whoah...shit just got real."

I remember that book, and also remember it really touching me. Still puts a lump in my throat

Which is ironic, because that didn't even happen in the book. Well, it did, but we didn't see it, just her saying she did it.

Probably emotionally wise, Marley and Me, and all the sadfics I've read. Beautiful, I'm not sure, maybe HP:PoA.

[Modphase 1,271]

I've never read a book that's actually classified as a sad book. But the saddest book I have read (only the ending was sad) was the Mysterious Island by Jules Verne.

 

 

 

Not only does Captain Nemo and Jup die but the island that the characters have had so many memories gets destroyed by a volcanic eruption. THE ENTIRE FREAKIN' ISLAND. UNDERWATER.
