Any good tragedy books?

I cannot seem to find any super sad books, and I'm in desperate need for suggestions.





I read some books by Nicolas Sparks (ex. The Notebook, Dear John, A Walk to Remember), as all of his books are sort of bitter sweet romance, then mostly a rather sad ending.





Any book that has ever made someone cry. I'm a sucker, and cry easy so if anyone has a good suggestion for a good romance and or tragedy novel, I'd really love to hear it.





Thank you so much!

I cried all the way through Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, and Ian McEwan's Atonement.

Reply:I'd try Jodi Picoult's book, My Sister's Keeper... I don't cry that much, and I think I cried at the end of that one.
Reply:"1 Liter of Tears." Makes even the manliest of men cry hysterically.





At the tender age 15, Aya Kitou was diagnosed with a rare disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration, a disease which eventually affects her nervous system. Through the next few years she slowly loses her ability to walk, speak, and lastly hold a pen before she succumbs into a coma and dies. The cruelest part is the fact that while a part of her brain was deteriorating, she still retains her state of mind--so her body turns into a prison.





The book is a compilation of diary entries she wrote until the day she couldn't hold a pen any longer.





They made a TV drama of her story which brought more recognition to Aya's memoir, but there doesn't seem to be an english translation of it yet. X_X But, some people are in the process of writing a fan-translation so you can check this out in the meantime.

It's a very heartbreaking inspirational story--makes you cherish life a lot more. I hope they release a translation soon. :(
