TheBookHippie @cathysaid Oh my word it flipped my mind you have to decide if these teenagers are recovering from their friends suicide OR did someone murder to look like suicide the manipulation and cut throat dialog freaked me out!!!! 5y

I just answered a question on Jeopardy about The Jungle and classified it among my top three most disturbing reads. And of course that got me wondering...what are other Littens most disturbing reads? #disturbingreads #LitsyAfterDark

Erinreadsthebooks I read The Jungle in high school and Bastard in college. Definitely not feel good reads 😨 5y
Kaye I must like disturbing reads because #1 and 3 are some of my favorites. 😱 5y

Leftcoastzen I‘m with @kaye disturbing but among my favorites! All three! The Jungle radicalized me at a young age. 5y
cathysaid @Owlizabeth So would you suggest reading it or is it stuff nightmares are made of? Clearly I‘m drawn to disturbing. 🧐 5y
cathysaid @Erinreadsthebooks That was the same timing for me as well! I often wonder if that timing affected the impact. 5y
cathysaid @kaye @Leftcoastzen I can‘t say any are “favorites” but I also don‘t regret reading them. If they affected me so profoundly, then I feel the authors were successful. I think part of my issues are with my respective ages when I read them, but also I think I simultaneously identified in some way while also being repulsed. I just know there are scenes and descriptions in all three which I‘ll never forget. 😞 5y
Leftcoastzen I agree 5y
Reagan Bastard Out of Carolina 😢 I gave it away after I read it and then I was so mad because it‘s a book I need to own. I‘ve never read The Jungle 😬 (edited) 5y
cathysaid @Reagan-reads I suggest The Jungle if you are starting a fasting diet or would like to lose twenty pounds within three days. It‘s my understanding that the formation of the USDA was heavily influenced by the novel. 5y
BarbaraBB I haven‘t read any of them and now they sound appealing. What does that say about me 😳😉? I definitely think the age you read them is important. My most disturbing read I read in high school too. It is 5y
cathysaid @BarbaraBB Ok that description sounds like it could seriously mess with the adolescent mind! And while I found the ones I mention disturbing, I still think they are worth the read. Just know I preface that suggestion with a myriad of trigger warnings = animal cruelty, graphic violence, molestation, rape, sexual assault...and those aren‘t all. 5y
BarbaraBB The Jungle is on the list of #1001books so I‘ll get to that one sooner or later. Bastard has been on my mind for a while too! 5y
mrp27 100% agree with your number 1 pick. It's mine as well. The only book I have physically thrown against the wall. 5y
