I cried in it too. My Father-in-law gave it to me and I thought hmmm a book about rabbits--not so but so good.

The last chapter of Pooh Corner is the story of Christopher Robin explaining to Pooh that the time may come ....when he has to leave all these friends behind, of course, but he doesn't spell it out. I cried only after I reread this book sometime when my first child was leaving for college....a personal thing, no doubt.

You might like The Time It Never Rained by Elmer Kelton. I don't recall crying but then I don't cry easy. Its very sad about the depression in west Texas.

That is so true! I think I've cried more at Les Mis than anything else I've read. I was a bit hysterical, to be honest.
A lot of my friends say that if you cry that much at a book, it's too sad, but I love it. I have to hold anything that makes me feel so strongly in high regard.
Also...
While I'm certainly not a fan of the Twilight Saga, I think it's quite out of line to call someone who cried at it, "so low life". If someone feels strongly enough to cry, they should cry. Emotions are emotions--they don't usually follow logic.

Yes, I agree! I am more prone to cry over animals I guess.

Thanks Lide and Jamie for those kind words about the Twilight Saga. I don't know why so many literary snobs feel the need to trash it. That Shakespeare quote comes to my mind which I rarely quote correctly, "Madame, methinks thou doth protest too much." There is some reason WHY THEY YELL AND CARRY ON SO MUCH!

Haha! I think the reason they rant about Twilight so much is because it's such a popular thing and people feel the need to get their opinion out there. But I think it's one thing to give a clear reason for why you don't think Twilight is good, and quite another to actually insult the people who read and enjoyed it!

I also cried in My Sister's Keeper but I won't see it again. I thought the movie ending was more realistic than the book.

Some people cried in the Deathly Hollows because so many people died. I personally wasn't one of them, but I can see where they were coming from

OMG I cried during Breaking Dawn because I thought everyone was going to die, but once I was done, I started slapping myself in the face for wasting valuable tears. The book was not worth it.
