What is the most moving book you have read?

The Healer by Dee Henderson

 

[FatBurger]

if you don't cry fifty million times whilst reading LOTR or the count of monte cristo... then you're a fish.

Then I guess I'm a fish

Probably because I was young at the time, but the only book that's really hit me was an old version of Robin Hood (can't remember which author). The end with Robin Hood being betrayed and killed by his cousin was one of the sadder things I've ever read.

Probably The Body by Stephen King...even more so after seeing the film and now when I read it all I can hear is the haunting score to Stand by Me and there is no one else I can imagine being Chris Chambers than poor River Phoenix.

The Bible then Greg Louganis' autobiography Breaking the Surface. After the first few chapters I was crying because I greatly identify with his childhood. That book literally saved my life and I'm grateful that Greg wrote it.

My favourite was Poor Miss Finch by Wilkie Collins.

 

[litmajor]

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

 

[Romany]

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

But it's so frustrating when they have to wait so long to get back together. I felt like tearing the book to shreds by the end of it.
Anyway, You're the litmajor

 

[minisam]

East of Eden by Steinbeck. Very moving book.

 

[jesus_freak1513]

Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom.

I still need to read The Five People You Meet In Heaven.

WOW!!! I so agree with you. Tuesdays with morrie is incredible! It should be required reading. I fell in love with the characters and it made me look for hte Morrie in my life. I have found her. If you haven't read it READ IT!

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

 

[romaneagle13]

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and I agree with Ave Maria about Bridge to Terebithia, that one still makes me cry too.

Fiction: The Amber Spyglass - Phillip Pullman

Non-Fiction: Captivating - John and Stasi Elderedge

 

[nadroj1985]

A few always get me:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stephen Chbosky)
Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia Woolf)
The Brothers Karamazov (Fyodor Dostoevski)

 

[Dantepedro]

The Dune series By Frank Herbert, i don't think i will ever read annything that moves me like that again

 

[GL2814]

Besides The Bible. I'd have to say 'The Chronicals of Narnia', 'Angelwalk', 'The Oath', 'Left Behind'.

 

[Hopeful7]

I'd have to say the most moving book I've ever read is 'Angels's Ashes' By Frank McCort.
It totally tells the reader how terribly rough life can get. It made me pour my eyes out! T.T

 

[Rorschach]

There are quite a few that moved me. The Harry Potter series, mainly book 4 and 5. Then there's a few books by Bill Myers that moved me, such as Blood of Heaven, Soul Tracker, and most of all, Eli.

Eli was a really wonderful book IMO. A few books from the Left Behind series have also moved me.

 

[Cordelia]

Faulks' Birdsong sticks in my mind - I'll never forget the final image. Cormac McCarthy's Cities of the Plain broke my heart, too. I couldn't sleep all night when I finished it; I was devastated.

 

[flywithchrist06]

Power of One
To Kill a Mockingbird
Where the Red Ferm Grows
Bridge to Terribithia

Are all books that have made me cry.

Out of those....where the red fern grows was really good..i read it in 6th grade...but To Kill a Mockingbird is awesome...I think everyone should read that book
