    PS brings tears to my eyes, too. So does The Talisman, when Jack's mom lies helplessly in bed, cancer eating her up.

    I can't even count how many times he's made me cry, but the one I can't read now that I've got kids is Cujo-it had me in washes of tears at the end when I was a teen; I can't imagine what it would do to me now that I've got kids of my own. Basically any time a kid is hurt (emotionally or physically, and that's pretty often in his books), I cry. Oh, and book 7 of DT was particularly bad for tears, also.

    I almost cried when

    Ralph died
    at the end of Insomnia.
    And I cried when it ended just because it was over. Haha.

    I've never cried. But I did feel so sad for Gage. Also I despised Percy from The Green Mile. He was so mean to J.C. I REALLY despised him, he got me so frustrated that I was literally talking to myself saying how could anyone be so cruel. Powerful stuff.

    I think I cried during part of The Stand, but I can't remember which part. It was towards the end.

    I think it was in the Hospital when Lucy talks with Frannie about Larrie not coming back. Larry and Glenn Bateman were my favorite characters. I was incredibly proud of what Glenn said to Flagg and Lloyd just before he died. I do believe it was towards the end of the book that teared me up, but I can't quite remember. Heck it could have just been because the book was over and I didn't want it to be.

    I didn't cry because I was like 18, but when

    Mattie dies in Bag of Bones
    I put the book down and didn't read it for three days because of anger. Of course I came back and finished it, and it is one of my top 3 King books.

    The Green Mile when

    John Coffey went to old sparky
    , and when

    Oy died
    in DT7 (i still feel very resentful towards SK for that one). Both of these made me bawl and very emotional for hours after

    He's done it to me twice and, as a deeply cynical and perversely unsentimental old git, I have to say I strongly resent his ability to do it.

    Number one was

    Jake's death in Dark Tower, not only vastly upsetting, but outrageous in that he deliberately killed a character I cared about in order to save his own life, the crumb! .


    Number two was

    foreshadowing Ilse's death in Duma Key.

    I got really choked up during The Eyes of the Dragon and again concerning Mordred in the Dark Tower. I bawled like a baby at the end of the Dark Tower. I couldn't deal with the fact that it was over. Or was it?

    I didn't cry during that book, but I definitely agree that it's one of those books that I remember very well. Even though it was my first Stephen King book and I read it awhile ago, I still remember it very well...especially the last line.
