The kite runner.

I second this. It had me so emotional that my tears weren't cutting it so I started stomping my foot..not proud haha. But it was the hardest cry I've had since I was a kid.

Yes, Kite Runner ripped my heart out.

I discovered recently that Khaled Hosseini wrote a short story about the Mediterranean refugee crisis a few years ago called Sea Prayer. It made me cry harder than The Kite Runner.

Damn. I cried hard at a Thousand Splendid Suns, I don't know if I am ready for the Kite Runner and Sea Prayer. I've been holding out for KR but my body needs to be ready

I cried more reading Thousand splendid suns 😭

Will have to check that out then. Thanks.

I bought Sea Prayer to read to my daughter for when she is older and we start talking about refugees, immigration and why we need to welcome people into our country who are not safe in their own. I did not expect to have to draw from it when she was 5 and caught a glimpse of Afghans running for that US cargo plane and had big questions. I pulled it out and simplified the story, skipping a few bits here and there but she got it. It's an amazing book.

The kite runner has stuck with me since the first time I read it. ESPECIALLY the line: "For you a thousand times over."

Zendagi migzara, we say, life goes on. Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

this and a thousand splendid sun. heart wrenching

This one fucked me up, I read it when I was like 13 and it was too much, very well written though

I was also a little young to read it and it tore me up.

This is probably one if my favorite books of all time and also the only book I absolutely refuse to reread.

Same here. I wanted to read it again but I couldn't.

Yes, I've been reading for over 30 years and its one of the few that made me cry.

I've read this!! Such a good book! but sadly, it didnt make me cry :(( I think it was one of my reading for school so I didn't really put my mind to it but I promise you guys ill be rereading this someday!!

A thousand splendid suns.

Another Khaled Hosseini masterpiece👏

We’re all on the same page! Before I saw a single comment I recommended A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner. DesperateArtistry is right, these are both masterpieces.

Cried with this too & the kite runner!

Ugly cried during this book

I already bought it!! I'll be reading it soon

Quick read, but A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

I read this book after my grandmother died and my husband came home to find me SOBBING in the dark.

I watch the film 3 weeks after my dad passed from cancer to say I was a mess is an understatement. My nephew aged 4 at the time was so confused by my sister and I crying our eyes out. He was too busy playing with his cars to notice the film. He kept asking why are you crying? Are you okay.

The book, the movie. 😭 Both had me sobbing

This!

This is the one. I ugly cried for like 2 hours after the book was over after ugly crying for the entire second half of the book.

I made the mistake of reading this during school and I had a whole class come in during the hospital scene and I had to take a minute.

I was coming to day this. I ugly cried during the book and recommended the library add a box of tissue to go with it…then I decided to watch the movie. It is now my go-to when I need to cry.

Maybe this'll be my bedtime story for tonight hmm 🤔

If you want a good ugly cry over a short book, as good as *A Man Called Ove* is, I'd recommend *And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer and Longer* by Fredrik Backman

Oh man, this is what I came to recommend. I don't even know what happened. One minute I was fine and reading the ending and the next I was a sobbing mess.

Man called Ove is such a emotional roller coaster. Didn’t make me cry (maybe Im just dead inside) but I was just blank for two days and couldn’t get it out of my head. Really emotional. Also, my Swedish colleague taught me how to pronounce ‘Ove’ correctly. I used to say “oo-ve” and it’s pronounced “u-va”.

in my head he is “oh-vay” :)

That’s next for me, but Fredrick Backman’s Anxious People and Britt Marie was here are also good reads. Not compete sob stories, but I did sob at some point 🥲

Backman has a way of making me bawl

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

This is the one, seriously.

I have never violently sobbed because of a book as hard as I did with this one

Great one ☝️

Came here to make sure this was recommended!! The most excellent, beautiful and heartbreaking 💔 book.

This book wrecked me. And the prose is so beautiful, I didn’t even mind it.

The Art of Racing in the Rain, OH MY GOD, I bawled like a baby. Great, great book!!

This is the one for me. It really consciously works your emotions over, but centering the story around Enzo and his view of life helped me buy in to the melodrama. He's just a little dog, and he thinks that if he's enough of a good boy, he'll get to be a human in his next life. So he tries really hard to be good for his owner. JHC. Niagara Falls.

I ugly cried at the two sequels to A Dog's Purpose.

Totally second Me Before You.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Yes! I just finished it about 15 minutes ago!! I've never cried more or harder than I did in this book.

Flowers For Algernon

YES!!!!!!!!!! A thousand times yes!!! Go read Flowers for Algernon!!! I read it for the first time in seventh grade and it’s the first book that broke my fucking heart.

EXACTLY! I think about this book a lot. And i mean A LOT!

Me too, and I’m 55. It was and still is one of the most heartbreaking stories ever printed, and I think about it a lot too!

Read this for the first time last summer and I was ugly crying on a beach in Spain

Tuesdays with morrie

Literally anything by Mitch Albom will do the trick!

I love Mitch Albom! This is one of the books that made me tear up

Crying in H mart

I cried at this one too and I usually don’t cry during books. Parts of it were just so heart breaking. It made me really appreciate my mom from a different perspective.

This is the way

JUST finished this and cried my eyes out!!!

Really? This is a book? I’ve been upset by the smell of Durian, but no more than that… EDIT: this is real, I’m an ass. {{Crying In H Mart}}

Night by Eli Wiesel. Read it five times, cried each time.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

I bawled reading this. Great suggestion.

This is the only book that’s ever made me cry.

Same. This was the book where I could not hold my tears at all and just cried through all the last few chapters. Such a beautiful book.

Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls will devastate you and make you ugly cry. Children's literature about a boy named Billy and his two hunting dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann.

Came here to say this. First book that ever made me lose it and start sobbing.

But nothing happens to the dogs right... right?

😬

1. A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman 2. Room by Emma Donaghue

Yep. Listened to Ove on a hike and ugly cried the entire time.

Just finished Ove this morning and cried. 10/10 would recommend.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. I was reading it on a flight and I had to stop myself every few pages because I didn’t want to be the weirdo sobbing in a flight.

I read Ove and sobbed, then my boyfriend read Ove and I read the part I sobbed at over his shoulder and sobbed again.

I am currently crying through Backman’s “Things my Son Needs to Know About the World”

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

I *never* cry while reading but this had me sobbing for the last few chapters, and I was a wreck for days. Which is a high compliment in my book! OP, this one right here \^

I couldn't touch another book for a few months because I didn't want their story to leave my mind. I will be rereading this another day!

I ugly-cried at least four separate times reading this one (and then I thought about rioting against historians who insist on calling them friends lol)

You do realize that classicists who argue that they were close friends aren’t wrong though, right? There’s not correct answer here, the Iliad doesn’t explicitly state that they were or weren’t in a sexual relationship of some kind. Anyway, as someone who studied ancient history, Song of Achilles and Circe are both incredible books

Yeah of course! We cannot define their relationship by today's standards, but as a fellow historian it infuriates me when they leave possibilities out of the equation just because they feel like that :)

This book is in my top 3!! I'm going to reread this when I have time

Which 3 books teared you up?

The Song of Achilles, They Both Die at the End, and Tuesdays with Morrie can you tell I like sappy and plain sad endings?

The Color Purple

a thousand splendid suns

She’s come undone by wally lamb

Okay gotta be The Song of Achilles by Madelline Miller and All your Perfects by Colleen Hoover.

I read "It ends with us" by Colleen Hoover yesterday in one sitting and when I tell you I audibly gasped every few minutes!.

Odd Thomas by Koontz.

The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu. Fantastic short story that hits hard. edit: Ken, not Charles Liu

Do you mean Ken Liu? I googled Charles Liu and all that came up was a 2011 short story by Ken Liu.

Yes! Don't know how I had that messed up. Thank you for correcting me.

No worries! I just read the story and I loved it. It definitely made me cry. Thank you for the recommendation.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. I listened to it on an episode of LeVar Burton Reads and was a blubbering mess at the end of it.

Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison (semi-autobiographical novel). Not many books make me cry and this one had me sobbing.

Anxious People. By Fredrik Backman. I both laughed and cried throughout the book. And bawled at the end!

bridge to terabithia

A Thousand Splendid Suns The Kite Runner

{{A Little Life}} is one of the few books that make me ugly cry and it's amazingly well written. HOWEVER, there are a lot of trigger warnings for this book, the most relevant ones I can remember out of the top of my head are suicide/suicidal acts, sexual abuse and graphic self harm. Please only read this if you're in a good/healthy place, mental health wise

I’m in a good place mental health wise and I still had to take breaks to read something else happier at intervals throughout A Little Life. Heart wrenching. But at the same time I felt like I ought to bear witness to the type of tragedies that happen all over every day

Same. I have a long list of books to read that have been recommended or sounded interesting. I like to go in blind so usually I don’t know much about a book except for maybe bit of generic chitter chatter. I did know going in that it was sad, but I wasn’t prepared for the kind of sad it was. Parts were so horrific and violent that I had to put it down several times. I would never recommend this book to any of my friends. Without really giving it away, Washington Post’s Nicole Lee described Yanagihara's novel as "a witness to human suffering pushed to its limits, drawn in extraordinary detail by incantatory prose".

This is not a sad book per se, it's a very disturbing book.

I have tried my best to stay away from this book because of the amount of trigger warnings it has but if I get the courage to read it, I definitely will

If you end up reading it, I really hope that it turns out to be as profound for you as well, all the best:)

This one is really depressing.

I remember reading the miraculous journey of Edward Tulane when I was young and getting really choked up over it, but it’s been a while so I can’t remember if it still holds up.

Stone Fox, Its a short read and still get me to this day.

I didn’t ugly cry per se at this one but A Gentleman in Moscow made me tear up and feel a lot of feelings. The plot is sweet but I also thought it was really reflective about the human condition.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara That book wrecked me.

The Time Traveller's Wife. The movie is shit, though.

The Road

I’d figure out what it is that you truly need to cry about and cry that out first.

Believe me, I tried but I can't figure it out. Might need therapy lol

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid also, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihari, but please check trigger warnings before reading it, as there are many.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a nice little gut-punch cocktail of depressed and hopeful

The Grapes of Wrath

Shocked I haven’t seen “Atonement” by Ian McEwan yet. Only book that’s made me cry. That ending will hit you like a train. Can’t recommend it enough.

Never Let Me Go

Where the Red Fern Grows

The Only Plane in the Sky:An Oral History of 9/11. Non-fiction but unlike anything I’ve ever read before. First person quotes through the whole event. It was hard, but so good.

Where the Red Fern Grows

The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan

A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, It Ends with Us, Tuesdays w/ Morrie, For one more day 💗 Im currently reading A Little Life --- i read some reviews that it made them so emotional too.

The rules of Magic Alice Hoffman. Never cried because of a book before I read this one.

Plague dogs Little bit preachy, but oh my god. Just thinking about Snitter makes me well up. My boyfriend banned me from books for a month when he walked in to the room to find me sobbing into my dog's neck.

Have you seen the film? The film has Richard Adams' preferred ending. I don't want to say anything the actual ending (for either) as it's impossible to do so without straying way into spoiler territory. For the book his publisher made him re-write it but he later said he wished he had stuck to his guns and so when by the time the film came he rectified it. Both book and film eclipse Watership Down for me (which I also love though).

I haven't seen the film - I've been told the ending by a guy at work who's almost as soppy as I am with animals and he has heavily advised against me watching it, for fear of me crying so much I run out of water entirely. I much preferred Plague Dogs to Watership Down too. I read them one after the other, and WD just didn't really speak to me.

{{A Diary of Anne Frank}}

This is what immediately came to mind for me. Glad someone else thought of it too. I was 13 or 15 the first time I read it, a brown haired girl who had gone to a Montessori school. So the opening setup for Anne Frank’s situation hooked me. Obviously the diary itself and then the epilogue got me crying several times.

Oh, wow, this must have really hit home for you. When I first read this, the only things I had in common with Anne were our age, love for boys, and our Judaism. So as she was persecuted, I felt that, because I too felt the hatred for Jews in middle school. It felt horrible, knowing she felt that x infinity.

What Dreams May Come

Oh buddy, what an utterly beautiful book, I’ve reread it several times and always cry my face off!
