Have you ever read a book so disturbing you couldn't finish it?
No, I always power through, but The 120 Days of Sodom was a bit messed up
>>23371066What is that book about?
>>23371095The author is a wom*n so it's probably a shit book
Honestly most famous 'disturbing ' books are kinda crap. The Marquis de Sade is an extended religious lecture. Mccarthy's early fiction is too overwrought for my taste. Hogg is just bad pornography, while things like Girl Next Door and Wasp Factory cant rise above their second rate fiction trappings. Story of the Eye and 120 Days are rare exceptions.

>>23371278can't remember what the point of story of the eye was

>>23371066nothing can be more disturbing than my own life
