Markus Zusak's The Book Thief
I've been in a reading mood today, but don't have anything new to read, so decided to peruse the ol' bookshelves and pick out a good one. The Book Thief was one of my favorite books of 2006 and is still a great read--and I still sobbed through the final chapters. (It's a story that takes place in Germany during WWII and is narrated by Death--there are bound to be some tears. Still, it's mostly very beautiful.)
That's been on my LONG list. Seems like I'm not making a dent. However, with your high recommendation, it will get pushed to the top (hopefully!)
