I think anything by Kazuo Ishiguro is pretty sad. Especially When We Were Orphans.

Leaving Las Vegas was a very sad novel they made into a movie :-(

based on a true story...

Get Carter by Ted Lewis, not sci-fi but a classic novel never the less, the ending always makes me wanna scream out, dont die!!

I should say 99% is not sad but just the last scene.

Never read it or even seen a copy, but I'm interested as apparently it was set in Scunthorpe and Grimsby, is that right?

I agree except for "The Remains of the Day", Stephens realises what a fool he's been and also realises he doesn't have to remain a fool for the time he has left. Cheered me up no end!
