When I saw the title of the post, two books came to my mind. I was wondering if they'd make the list. They did. (Numbers 10 & 1)

I def don't need to read any of those. The Road was freaking disturbing enough for me. Shocked

It's a truly beautiful collection of writing.

Chuck Palahniuk does push the borders of accepted violence. In my country it is an extreme way for finding God. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

Gerald's Game was far more disturbing than Misery

Left off this list was Your mama's diary.

Terrifying to redefine the word.

Seriously, though Geralds Game was far more disturbing than Misery. I do have to say Mr. King's real people monsters are nearly always far more terrifying than most anything.

The only book on that list that I have read is Geek Love. I didn't find it as much 'disturbing' as I did boring. Rolling Eyes I kept trying to figure out why the guy who recommended it to me thought it was such a great book. Confused
