Since all books arouse (or should arouse) some sort of emotion, let's confine ourselves to those where an emotion is referenced in the title.
My five:
Twelve Terrors of Christmasby John Updike
Unhappy Far-Off Things, by Lord Dunsany
Joy in the Morning, by P.G. Wodehouse
Il tormento e l'estasi: Il romanza di Michelangelo, by Irving Stone (The Agony and the Ecstasy)
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
(Sorry, having a hard time with touchstones today!)
