And books that evoked other major emotions within you...
I know this isn't something us macho men are supposed to be able to do but I have to say I enjoy books that draw me in so deeply that when something major happens in love or disaster I can genuinely feel something.
For example I recently read David Weber's Honor Harrington series and there are a number of times when I felt something this strong.
Another one I think was the Black Company but I am not 100% sure
.. If I have the wrong book I am sure someone will remember this scene and point out the correct book.
Discworld - Rincewind
The black magician
World War Z
... Yea I could probably just quote the whole book here....
