Books That Make Us Cry
They make you weep not because they're so bad, no ... because they're so good! Because they tear the heart right out of you and leave it flailing on the floor, because that's how much you love the characters, because that's how much you can't handle any misery that befalls them ... and because the writing is masterful. Thanks to 49th Shelf friends for their suggestions for this list.
