Oh the list is so long! I don't cry in movies but I just get so attatched to the characters and their stories when I'm reading a book. :eek: Heres some I can remember...

The Pact- Jodi Picoult
My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult
On the Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta
Noughts And Crosses - Malorie Blackman
The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

Also the last 3 Harry Potter books and several from the Tommorrow Series.

I don't think there's any book that I've actually cried as I was reading it. There are books though, that have made me cry afterwards, or that have really moved me and made me think a lot, sometimes I've been sad for days afterwards. When I was 10, I read 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes'. That was so, so sad. And this book called 'Swashbuckler', where this guy's dad was dying of cancer. Oh, and two stories by Paul Jennings, 'Shake' and 'Forever'. 'The Power of One' and 'Looking For Alibrandi' are other ones that really made me think.
