I can only think of slightly odd ones. Like Dr Zhivago and The Time Travellers Wife. I can only keep about 20/30 books on the forefront of my mind at any given time.

this is one of my favs..
it's sad but gives me the sense that
hmmm. i can't articulate it. let's just say that i like that they don't live happily ever after, only for a short while in some horrendous circumstances.

there is no better than wuthering heights, the darkest love story ever.

Dr. Zhivago, Romeo&Juliet, Wuthering Heights........

Endless Love by Scott Spencer.

In the late 1960s, A Jewish Communist boy sets his liberal hippy girlfriend's family home on fire, all in a vain attempt so he can rush in to rescue them in the hopes that her parents will let the couple stay together. Of course, they're all tripping on LSD when he does this and nearly kills them.

The first half of the book is focused on the boy, David, and his five years spent in the mental institution and his recovery at home. Throughout all of this, he happily reminisces about their relationship, so the reader only sees the girl, Jade, through David's eyes.

The second half involves their reunion over terrible circumstances (which are all his fault), and the reader finally gets to see Jade and their relationship as they actually are/were. And since the book is told from David's point of view, the reader (at least in my case) grows to identify with, and even very much adore him; his descent into madness over an idealized image of someone that he feels he loves endlessly (as well as his harsh jolt into reality) is rather heartbreaking.

It's worth reading, though very emotionally taxing. And do ignore that cinematic abortion Zeffirelli unleashed in 1981 with a highly inappropriate theme by Lionel Richie.

tess of the d'urbervilles. great big melodrama in which a milkmaid goes through an awful lot of hardship to spend a few happy moments with her man.

and betty blue, by philip djian. a young writer is shaken from his apathy by a free spirited woman. a sad, beautiful love story.

I love the time travelers wife which I read for uni recently, I love it because of all the longing in it, and the fact that the characters are each totally flawed in different ways and they know that their time being together isn't going to last. Wuthering Heights for the same reasons.

twilight and new moon by stephanie meyer is addicting, teenage easy to read love story.

Will & Ariel Durant.

All of these are brilliant. It's nice to see Dr Zhivago get a mention.

yeah!! i'll second tess. all the people who said it was boring but i just loved it!
