    I don't often cry when reading books. I was reading the last book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series while flying this week, and tears were falling (as I sniffled into my mask.)

    I was thinking of books that made me cry. Four others came to mind:
    The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
    The Road by Cormac McCarthy
    Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis
    The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

    What about you? What books made your eyes leak?

          @augieray Thanks for the warning—I just started reading “The grapes of Wrath.” I think I read it in high school but was too distracted to remember much.

                  @augieray First three that come to mind are “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara, “East of Eden” by John Steinbeck, and “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller.

                      The last Dark Tower book had lots of sad bits that I kind of wasn't really expecting.
                      The book that made me cry on my first read was the ending of Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson.

                          @augieray I tend to avoid tragedies, so when a book makes me cry, it's typically a book that I relate to unexpectedly and breaks my heart. Phillip Gulley's writing does this to me. (the harmony series and even some of his opinion articles). it's folksy and humourous, but real. And sometimes the reality of his central Indiana characters, and their life twists puts me in tears.

                              Isn't the ending just awesome?

                              30 years, and he absolutely stuck the landing.
