According to the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness, it is only acceptable to cry at funerals and the Grand Canyon.

And really, the Grand Canyon is pretty fucking amazing.

Amazingly enough... I just read Wild while hiking the Grand Canyon. NO JOKE! Neither made me cry outright, but Wild made me a little misty in the eyeholes.

What are you, a Dalek? Are you calling Ron Swanson a sissy?

I once accidentally dropped a cinder block on Alison's foot and she did not cry. Cheryl Strayed never had a chance.

Alternate chapters with Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" and you should be OK.
