Sad book

[silverspear]

My mood says I want to read a sad book - something that will make me cry or at least move me.

ATOT have any recommendations?

Agreed.

Also try Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

Read April Fool's Day by Bryce Courtenay ... if you don't cry during it ... you aren't human.

April Fool's Day

Grapes of Wrath.

 

[Yossarian]

Of Mice and Men

 

[montanafan]

House of Sand and Fog

It won't make you cry, but a good book for you right now would be Beach Music by Pat Conroy.

Don't let the fact that he also did The Lords of Discipline and The Great Santini scare you away.

I read it twice and both times teared up. So sad

Ditto. One of the few books that made me tear up.

Trinity by Leon Uris. I cried, and I don't cry easily.

The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson is somewhat depressing. Does that count?
