Books that will leave you in a puddle of tears.

So to speak and while we're at it. I've got nothing.

Where the red fern grows.

Flowers for algernon is kinda sad too, but iffn ' I recollect its a short story, not a book.
That what they used to make the movie Charly with Cliff Roberts.

Bad movie, too much 60's hollywood hippie influence. Hippies suck.

I just read The Art of Racing in the Rain. Fantastic story. My sister (total non-car person and the one who gave me the book), admitted she cried through every page of it.

Where the Red Fern Grows and Charlotte's Web also get nominations. The Giving Tree, too.

+1 on The Art of Racing in the Rain. I loaned it out to several friends that I felt could use the wisdom in the book and all of them loved it.

Shrapnel In The Heart

Amazon.com: Shrapnel in the Heart: Letters and Remembrances from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (9780394759883): Laura Palmer: Books
Quote:
Thousands of letters and messages have been left at the Vietnam Memorial Wall since its dedication in 1982, many preserved by the National Park Service as part of a planned museum collection. Palmer, who worked in Saigon as a reporter in the early '70s, found and interviewed many of the people who left them. The resulting book combines the messages with the comments of those who wrote them, and one would have to look far to find a work that stirs deeper emotions.
I never finished this book, it had me crying and blowing my nose too often.
