Books that made you cry?

[jamiesam]

I've just re-read Birdsong and really enjoyed having a good sob. Am keen to read another weepy and looking for recommendations (ps am pg so inclined to be more emotional than normal )

my brother threw a mr man book at me when I was young, hitting me in the face. that made me cry.

Ok, serious answer: the Diving Bell and the Butterfly - someone else put this oen further down, and i agree. Written by someone with 'locked in syndrome', totally paralysed but can blink one eye. The entire book is written by blinking out each letter of each word to someone at his bedside. The thing that is sad is that it is so short, and must have taken him so long to write. Amazing book.

Sorry just seen mummyplonk already explained the book further down!
