can you remember the 1st book you read that made you cry?

Jeremy Thatcher: Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville was the first book that made me cry. In honesty though, it's one of the only books that has made me cry. No More Victims by Frank Peretti and Tuck by Stephen Lawhead (and I'm not sure I should even count that one because I was having a baaaaad day and I was really on a hormonal roller coaster at the time) are the only other two books I can remember crying over. I don't really cry for entertainment too easily.

I remember the first book I read that made me cry, fall in love and all of your questions! It was redeeming love and I could not put it down. I read the whole thing in a matter of days, and I will never forget the book until the day I die. I still type it in to "my favorite book" everytime I am asked, and I have read hundreds of books since then. It is the first book I really loved, and still remains my favorite!

I really cried when I read Tuesdays with Morrie. I really burst into tears. But honestly, I can't really remember now what the book is all about.

Well the first book I read that made me cry was the book called "Whatever happened to Lani Garver" I read that book over seven times and each time I still get teary eyed and wonder what ever happened to him in the end.

I never cried about a book because i believe books are not things that are valid to cry about. Crying is an action when we feel sad or hurt, not when we read about these things. It's like history. If you read about a random European man getting beaten, it would be part of your history class, being material to study for, and not something to cry about.

Yes! It was Oliver Twist and my tutor threw it across the room at me as I wasn't paying attention. Caught me right across the cheek and did narf smart! "Cry your hardest now, it opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes and softens down the temper. So cry away." ~ Mr Bumble

Don't remember if it was the first, but the best book that ever made me cry was Fern Michaels series of Texas Rich, Texas Heat, Texas fury and Texas Sunrise. A generation of family in Texas. That was a fabulous series, couldnt put them down and cried my eyes out on the sad parts as they felt like my own family! So well written and totally "that could be me" kind of plot instead of about something that is "only in the romance books". The Texas generation was the last in her trilogy of the family....before that was Las Vegas Heat, Fury and Rich and before that the family in the early 1900's in Kentucky Heat,Rich and Fury. Las Vegas was also really good and had some tear jerkers too but Kentucky...I didn't read those. Book one was so boring I couldn't get through the first book! I was really shocke d and maybe the other 2 would have been good, but I didn't bother to look for them. But LasVegas and Texas were the best books I have ever read. Tears and all!

The first book that made me cry was "My Anastasia" by Sharon Stewart.I was about 10 years old. I have received it as present, but firstly it didn't seem like interesting book.1 year later, i had nothing to do,and started to read it.And only few pages later, I couldn't stop. It grabbed my attention with the story of the Russian family ,who is killed in the end of the book.I recommend it to all- it is very good book,but prepare your handkerchief because it is going to make you cry .

Reading a book if you really love reading can draw you right into the mid of the character and author. If the story is great it can make you cry. I am not really sure if I remember the first book that made me cry but I cried when I read Little Women because I identified myself with Jo.
