pass the kleenex, please

I remember reading a meme a while back that asked people to confess which books make them cry. I'm teaching two of mine this quarter: The Bluest Eye and Jane Eyre. In fact, I just reread for class tomorrow the scene where Helen Burns dies and, even though it's ridiculously sentimental, it made we weepy (as usual). Others that always make me tear up include Where the Red Fern Grows, The Little Prince, Little Women, Cold Mountain, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and Bel Canto. I'm sure there are others as well that I'm just forgetting.

Novels like these remind me of music; they always take me aback with their power to move me.

Anyone else care to share books that can make you cry?
