    Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
    The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe
    Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
    The Wanderer by Sharon Creech
    Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
    Harry Potter 4,5,6 by J.K. Rowling

    The WORST for me is Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis, in the Chronicles of Narnia. Not because it's overly sad, but the last few chapters are so beautiful they have me bawling.

    I know what you mean about the Amber Spyglass, especially the end...that they were seperated...but to keep visiting that park...ach...now I feel sad. Just remembering it...

    I must admit, I get very choked up over books, and am prone to cry at the very sad parts...

    Wuthering heights! It's so sad! But worst still is a little princess. It's a great book. I read it when I was seven and when Sara's Dad died I just sobbed and sobbed. I still do! I can't read it any more!
    Peace and love to all.

    Most importantly 'twas
    Nineteen eighty four &
    those damned last few pages.

    Most recently 'twas Time Traveler's Wife.
    Audrey Niffennegger was it?
    She's truly a brilliant artist..
    painfully well written.

    I actually thought Subtle Knife was more sad than Amber Spyglass... don't ask me why. Actually, they all made me cry. I cried too when she could be seperate from Pan, don't know why just found that really sad.

    Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men also made me cry, so did How I Live Now by Meg Rossoff.

    haven't read HPHBP, which is what everyone else is saying. I think I first read 1984 when I was too young and didn't understand it properly - it doesn't have so much impact now I know the ending. Having said that I read it again recently and didn't remember any of the stuff about them being betrayed and all that, so that was pretty good.

    Fluke, by James Herbert. It's supposed to be a horror story (well, that's the genre on the back), but damn it made me cry.. I reread it every now and again and it chokes me up every time.
    And the end of The Dark Tower by Stephen King.. there's quite a few places in the seventh book that make me cry (no spoilers if anyone hasn't read it.. but it's highly recommended).
    Damnit, that's got me going again, all I have to do is think of "In this haze of green and gold" and off I go...
