The Redwall series, especially Martin the Warrior, wherein Laterose of Noonvale was killed by Badrand the Tyrant.

I cried when I read the last book in the Harry Potter series when he was planning on dying for the sake of his friends.

Bad writing (almost) makes me cry.

The only one I can remember actually making me cry was "The Little Match Girl" - I was 5 years old though.

The ending of Villette, and knowing that Patrick made her change it ... I was inconsolable in every direction.

No spoilers of course.

Stephen King's Christine, believe it or not. It was after Christine was destroyed, and the ghost of LeVay along with her, when the narrator is semi-conscious in the hospital, and his friend, Arnie, who he knows is dead, is at his bedside and thanks him. That got me misty eyed the first time I read it.

I love Virginia Woolf!

Her writing is so good it gives me chills. I really need to reread The Waves.

For awhile, I was thinking about writing my graduate thesis about some of her works.
