Drowning Anna. It's this book about a girl who's being bullied and tries to kill herself. It's written in a really interesting way though, it tells the story of what's happening in the present when Anna has just ODed, and her friend tells the story of what's happened leading up to it.
I cry so much when I read(it gets annoying when I can't see the pages), so there are a ton more, but I can't remember any specifics(except this which I just read) because there are so many of them.

There are three books I can think of that have made me cry: "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway, "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom, and "The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk" by Palden Gyatso (this one especially since I met him and listened to a speech he gave...very moving and very disturbing).

I think i used to cry a lot more last time when i read books, not much in the last couple year, must be getting cynical 
Anyway my list:
Birghtly Burning and Magic's Pawn by Misty Lackey, when the important characters died, couldn't seem to stop in fact, Misty seems to have this unique talent to make me wail......
To kill a mocking bird, mentioned several times earlier....
Robin Hobbs writes beautifully... but I don't usually cry after reading, i just get sad and melancholy, but I'm glad the last book in the trilogy had a sort of happy ending, I do wish I could read more about the fool though.
Summer of my German Soldier, which i had to read for school some years ago, about this Jewish girl who made firends with and tried to help a German Soldier during World War. I keep going "not fair! not fair!" when she found out the soldier was killed.
Easy Connections, I simply can't remember who wrote it, it was about about a girl who sneaked into a back garden of a house of a famous rock band to paint the garden (she was an artist), and was raped by a band member, then she was made to accept him later by media, the fans of the band and general public opinion when the guy declared he loved her in front of the media... sad and scary....
*looks up and winces* think I've rambled enough

Hey, Nostradamus! by Douglas Coupland brought me very close. I was all depressed for like..15 minutes.

Latest one: I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. The sad parts didn't really make me cry; it was the happy parts. Some of the events were so moving I just ended up crying. I wasn't very tired either, which usually helps set me off. But it's a very good book.

Books make me cry fairly easily
the end of Firebringer, by David Clement-Davies...left me all sad.
Battlecry Forever...by...Joanna Campbell, I think? I'm not sure. It was a kid book, written by the author of the whole long thoroughbred series, but it made me bawl at the end.
Where the Red Fern Grows, of course. and Old Yeller.
HP and the HBP.
San Domingo, the Medicine Hat Stallion, by Marguerite Henry. Also Black Beauty.
I believe that both The Golden Compass and The Amber Spyglass made me cry, but especially the Amber Spyglass. I was crying for ages.
The end of the final book in the Song of the Lioness series...Lioness Rampant, I think? just...so sad.
Also the end of The Outsiders. I thought when Dallas went down it was written very, very beautifully.
there are lots more that I've forgotten at the moment ^_^
Then there are a few books that I've cried at just because they're over.

Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince. Dumbledore's funeral was so sad.

Anne of Green Gables, where Matthew dies. It was awful. I hardly ever cry over books or movies but something about that makes me cry, even when I read the book again and again.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Such a great book.
And Harry Potter. Of course!

Doesn't Sirius die in the Order of the Phoenix? It was Dumbledore who died in HBP. But both books made me cry, but not as much as...
"Forever Sam" by Jenny Dale (in the "Puppy Patrol" series). Even though you could see the ending a mile off, it's still a sad book, very moving and very touching.

I read the short story of Flowers for Algernon in my school textbook and I was like, the only one that got all teary-eyed. Good thing I wasn't the one reading it outloud at the time.

The book I'm reading right now, Redeeming Love, has me crying all the time.
I know, horrible title.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. AMAZING book though, it really puts your life in perspective and after it's done all you want to do is give someone a **huge** hug.
And though I hate to admit it, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants had me curling up with some tissues and chocolate.
