I have lost count, I just get so attached to the books I read and then usually when I'm nearlly finished I get so upset because I know I have to leave the characters I've come to know and the place I've been involved in for however long. I cried twice in the Kite Runner. Many more, but what about you guys?

Normally, I don't cry over books, but last summer I read "Looking for Alaska" by John Green which made me cry like a 3 year old. It was just so sad and I had become really attached to the characters and didn't want them to suffer so much.

With me, that definitely has to be "Tuesdays with Morrie". You know how the book ends, but it's just so incredibly sad and he's such a great guy and so wonderful inspiring for myself. The crying didn't start at the end, it developed as the book continued. I've cried over several books, but never like that.

The Time Traveler's Wife The Book Theif The Namesake A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (i think)

A Walk to Remember Marley and Me Angela's Ashes The Color of Water
I also hate finishing a book, I also am not very fond of starting new books. I feel invested in my characters.

I cried in The time traveler's wife and The Order of phoenix. And probably other...but I can't remeber now. Those were the two that I was going to say, too. Those are the ones that I clearly remember uncontrollably crying during. I think I also cried when I read The Namesake (and def during the movie). I don't cry very often in real life, but give me a good sad book or movie and I'll lose it.

Let´s see which ones I can remember. HP 6 at the end, it was horrible. And the most recent would be the history of love and the memory keeper´s daughter.

Forgotten Fire made me cry as well as Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (when her cousin gets stung by the bee)...she was heartbroken. That part made me cry too come to think of it.

I haven't cried for Dumbledore's death too because I have heard about that before starting the book. I've cried with Little Women (when Beth dies) and with "Se questo è un uomo" (means "If this is a man")by Primo Levi. I've never cried during a movie, but with books is different...don't know exactly why.
