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.
I remember well. It was maybe one of the worst romance books of all times: The Love Story. To my excuse I was still young and didn't know better
