Yes, "The Christmas Box" had me a blubbering mess.

Have you ever cried while reading a book?
Absolutely. I'm a total wuss when it comes to both books and movies. When watching a movie or reading a book with my wife, I often have to pretend I'm blowing my nose or something like that to cover up the fact that my wife is more of a man than I am when it comes to emotional scenes.

Last night I cried after reading about the sabbath in "The Torah Blessing." The Spirit overcame me and I cried out to God. I thanked Him for opening my eyes to the blessings in the shabbat service and just how much many have missed its full meaning.

I really don't like book or movies with the dogs dying! (I'm looking at you I Am Legend)
It's almost like the authors are being unfair... Anyway, I definately cried during The Green Mile by Stephen King, Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah(when the family killed her duck. so cruel), Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud, and plenty of others. Sometime's I'll cry during the weirdest scenes.

The end of Jane Eyre, when Mr Rochester can see she's wearing blue
Bits of Black Beauty
A bit in Hidden Rainbow, by Christmas Carol Kauffman
The selfish giant by Oscar Wilde
Bits of Ann Drysdale's books
Those are the ones I can particularly remember offhand.

Me too. Hate it. Will actually never watch/read the scene where the dog (or horse...Black Beauty, how could you?!) dies ever, ever again. Yes, I am an adult. No, that will never change.
But....yes.....
- Little Women (Beth!!!)
- The Fellowship of the Ring (Gandalf!)
- Lion, Witch, & the Wardrobe (Aslan!)
- Anne of Green Gables (Matthew!)
- The Call of the Wild (more dogs...booooooooo), and actually anything Jack London...I actually can't read him anymore because he has such a penchant for killing off sled dogs.
...there's been others, I'm sure, but the older I get the less I cry over books and movies (with the exception of dogs, of course).
Someone spoiled the whole Dumbledore thing for me so I didn't cry. I hate it when people spoil books like that.

I've cried at so many books I've lost count. My wife teases me for being such a sap.

I cried when I read Daniels story. A book about the holocaust, that has quite a bit more to it than just anne frank. Only book I have cried reading. I have, however, burned/torn/destroyed/decimated certain books after reading them so I will never pick them back up again......And I had to make a vow never to pick up Steven King or Anne Rice ever again....Their writing style makes me very very angry, and tests the bounds of my tolerance.
For years I had a copy of Power of One on my desk with a dagger sticking through it. I finished the book while family was over(my aunt and uncle who gave it to me). I took the dagger out of my desk drawer, stabbed the book, and went and plopped it on the coffee table. It deals with racial issues in South Africa during apartheid. My family happened to be having a rather heated discussion on race at my dinner table. It took 2 years for anyone to get the guts to ask to read the book, but at least the race comments stopped at the dinner table.

Every time my teachers would read Where the Red Fern Grows I would end up bawling. Not the best thing considering like it was read to us for 3 years in a row and even knowing what was coming would still have me crying.

The Lion the Witch and the wardrobe
The Chamber by John Gresham
When I lay my Isaac down By Carol Kent. She told the story @ a womens conference I was a cameraman for SO I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!! 
Its always something by Gilda Radner, the part written by her husband.
Thats it, 4 in 40 years, I think I get to keep my Man Card..... speaking of which, has anyone confiscated Nicolas Sparks yet That traitor to the male species needs to have his man card taken cut up, burned, the ashes loaded on a rocket and scattered through out outer space!

The only author I have ever cried through is Karen Kingsbury. I don't know why, 'cause I'm not usually that emotional of a book, but Karen Kingsbury is such a sophisticated writer that I just cried through a couple of them.

I just finished Tailiesin by Steven Lawhead. I cried at the end which was awkward because I was in an exercise room riding the stationary bike.

I cry all the time when reading. I still cry when re-reading those old "Little House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Especially the ones her daughter Rose wrote about their life in Mansfield Mo.
