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.

I totally agree! When I finished that book, I was sooooo depressed!
