The Most Disturbing Movie You've Ever Seen thread prompted me to start this thread.

So what was the most disturbing book you've ever read?

The most disturbing for me was The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

I don't know if any of you have ever read it, but it's semi-autobiographical of Sylvia Plath. A basic synopsis of the book is: It's about the life of Esther Greenwood and her struggles through life and her several suicide attempts and her ultimate institutionalization (is that a word?).

I read it for my OAC ISP about Women and Depression and it took me the longest time to finish reading it because it was so sad and depressing. I won't read it again.
