A Walk to Remember, and The Notebook did it for me. I didn't get choked up even a little while reading Message in a Bottle though. It was a great book however. I just picked up The Rescue, and I will read A Bend in the Road after that.

I'll also go with Where the Red Fern Grows...Tuesdays with Morrie was also really sad...now, I know this next one will sound ridiculous, but I have always found The Little Prince to be very touching.

"The Grapes of Wrath".....when the girl whose baby has just died feeds the starving man from her swollen breasts - there is nothing more sad or beautiful than that ending. Also there is a scene in the new Clive Barker book where the main character has to put his dog to sleep - that stuff always gets me

Yeah, the last few pages really got me too. More recently (and this is just sad) I cried at Star Wars: Vector Prime where a main character died while performing a selfless act.
