Marquis de Sade but can't remember the title. I think I read on the first or second page about nuns having oral sex.

But he was a damned good writer

It's tough to say....

Online...
About Unit 731
And I've read about torture and death sentences from the middle ages.

Something from recent times, the book, "A child called it"

I have two the first one After the Darkness by Elie Wiesel, one of the greatest books I've ever read, very disturbing and heart breaking. I cried like a baby. The second isn't really disturbing just the fact that it grew so much popularity is what disturbs me, Fifty Shades of Grey by the untalented EL James. The most pathetic book in the history of literature.

I wish more people would read this because they would see that history is repeating itself.

The most disturbing thing I ever saw( a movie based on scientific research) was the Milgrim experiment.

Book wise, I am not sure but maybe "Last Summer" by Evan Hunter.

Great thread, Karka!

Stories of children's suffering. David Copperfield and The Little Match Girl come first to mind.

I try to avoid books that I KNOW will be disturbing, but in high school we had to read Lord of the Flies .

That book disturbed me then, and the concept of it disturbs me now. Maybe because there's truth to it, I don't know.

But if that's the case, it's a truth that I don't want to contemplate if I don't need to.

I think I skimmed through just enough of that book to be able to spill out some half-@ssed report, and I was so disgusted by it.

I rarely say that I "hate" a book that I've read, but I can absolutely say that I hate that book.

Anyway, there may be others, but as I said, I try to avoid them. That one was unavoidable, unfortunately.

I'll add that reading a history text book or watching/ reading the news is disturbing enough. I don't need to add to it in my own creative spare time. :-/

Perhaps that's a part of having Pluto in 3rd...
I'm already quite aware of the disturbing potentials in life and humanity, so I prefer not to draw it more to my attention than is necessary.

Night by Elie Wiesel and With The Old Breed by Eugene Sledge.

Night is just plain sad, period. Its hard to believe that people could do those horrible things to their fellow human beings.

With The Old Breed is more disturbing in the sense that it describes the harsh realities of World War ll in the pacific with such graphic and disturbing details.... This is different from other war memoirs... If you want to read a book full of false patriotism and a feel good story about the camaraderie among soldiers during war dont pick up this book... It is as real and as bare bones as you can get.

Karka

Once something goes into your head, it is hard to get out, if ever. You may want to be careful what you read, next time lol

Shades of grey - because of the bad writing style. It was HORRIBLE, not to mention boring book


Semi kidding here, I am sure I read more disturbing material, and I never finished "Shades of Grey", because even as a non-English-speaker I felt kinda offended by the bad writing style. *shudders*

The Little Match Girl

This always makes me cry, no matter how many times I read it. It describes being on the outside looking in, to me.

Actually I think the absolautely most disturbing books I ready during my puberty.

One was about Hiroshima, the other a German children`s book "the cloud" about a break down of a nuclear power station in Germany and the aftermath.

Oh...and I bought Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, and I was only able to make it through the first chapter or two.

As much as it's on my list of books I want to read, it was so disturbing within the first couple of chapters that I just couldn't keep reading it.

Yes 50 Shades of Grey was boring in the middle of the 2nd book, I think. The first book was good, I thought.

I read both Night and After the Darkness in high school. It was really, really hard to get through at times. It makes me sick to my stomach just to remember all of the things I read.

The best use of pain is to use it to stand up against evil.

I am really loving your recent contributions to Sweet peas, Bella!
