I know there are some tear-jerkers out there for those who want a good cry. What would you recommend?

If you liked My Sister's Keeper then The Pact is another good one by her that will have you in tears! As well as All The Numbers by Judy Larsen

[Devin]

RED HOT PROPERTY by Devin O'Branagan. It will make you laugh and make you cry. It is, as the critics say, entertaining, heartbreaking, and hilarious. www.RedHotNovel.com

[Christine Bode]

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini! Sobs!!

[BarbaraZ]

Yes, this story did it for me!

[Sharon (book pusher)]

I just finished The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, that made me laugh and cry, it was a wonderful book, I lent it to a friend and she had the same reaction, although she said she found it a bit intellectual for her taste, lots of discussion of language, philosphy and art.

I've been wanting to read this! Glad to hear a good review of it, now I can put it on my list at paperbackswap.com.

A Fine and Private Place, Peter S. Beagle

[Monie Garcia]

Clan of the Cave Bear from Jean M. Auel was the first book that made me cry. More recently Marley and Me had me bawling.

[Constance Reader]

Oooh, what a good question!

For me, Anne of Green Gables is the original gangsta tearjerker: so many sad, happy, beautiful moments.

The Time-Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
We Are All Welcome Here by Elizabeth Berg--anything by Elizabeth Berg, for that matter.
In the nonfiction arena, John Adams by David McCulloch: the last few chapters.
