I'm all manly and reading books doesn't make me cry. But let's just say that an author had the power to get into your head and make you feel things at an emotional level that even film and TV can't do. Or let's just admit that your not as manly as me. What book really made you cry?

As for myself, I'm not admitting nuth'n, but when I was a teenager (and wasn't so manly) I read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. It's a story about a boy and his dogs and I might have shed a tear or two. Actually, this is the book I credit for helping me to realize that I like to read.

So what was the first book to make you cry? Actually, it doesn't even have to be the first book, just let us know which authors/books are so good that you can't help feeling a strong emotional connection.
