My Sweet Charlie. I cried at the end. Read it again years later, still remembering the ending, and cried all over again.

Great musical! It's why I read the book to begin with! The book does make me yearn for an interpretation that includes The Persian (a crucial character who was foisted messily onto Madam Giry in Andrew Lloyd Webber's version and wasn't used at all in the 1927 silent film), but the music is great!

Flowers for Algernon — knew exactly where Charlie was going, read it in one sitting anyway. The part that wrecked me wasn't the ending. It was the moment he started correcting his own earlier journal entries.
