What's the most traumatizing book you've read and loved it? Even though you would probably never read it again.

[Syma]

A little life was the most traumatic book I've ever read in my life. It took me 6 months to finish it and it wasn't because it was a very long book. I was just so depressed after reading it. But I loved it nonetheless.

Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison. Good lord, it's hard to read but it was beautiful. One that will stay with me forever, but I don't think I could stomach reading it again.

My Dark Vanessa. I genuinely had to stop reading it and take a break because i thought i was going to throw up, but it was one of the best books I've ever read.

Heir of fire by Sarah J. Maas. i cant count how many times i had sobbing fits through that book.

[luna ♡]

Blindness and Tender is the Flesh, both books that made me physically gag while reading, the idea that the things people did in those books were so realistic and things were all physically capable of doing if we needed to. they were amazing pieces of literature and that's shown in my disdain for them, i truly hate the way those books made me feel, because they wanted me to feel that way. and that rlly is writing,

[Admoliviad]

Lord of the flies

Monday's Not Coming

[Tara]

Cries Of Joy by Axl Malton

[Melissa]

How It Ends by Laura Wiess messed with my head so much that I could only read light, fun books for months afterwards.

[Elora]

Carrie By Stephen King

[Daniel]

Mila 18 by Leon Uris. Very well-written. Very depressing.

[annie]

the kite runner!

[Sinna]

Yes On Lord of the Flies. Never again. A book I love but rips me apart is Between Two Fires by Christopher Buhelman.

[Eider]

Probably, Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent into Hell. it's not traumatizing per se, but something in the way that book's written resonated with me and scared me about the future and how insignificant one may be.

[Janine]

Another vote for Lord of the Flies here. I was depressed for a full two weeks after I finished it, but I think it did what Golding set out to do marvelously. A very necessary book.
