What are some books that have completely fucked you up for one reason or another? I'm talking all kindas of fucked up too.

Books that made you want to vomit on the spot, Books that turned you into sniveling balls of oozing snot and rivers of tears, Books that made you so angry that you had to punch something, Books that drained you and left feeling like a hollow husk, Books that made you want to Ronnie Mcnutt because it was so fucking stupid, Books so goddamn weird that nothing could ever compare.

Call of the Crocodile was fucking bananas. I haven't been the same since.

Consumer (Gira), Cows (Stokoe) and The End of Alice (some woman) are the most unpleasant books I've read. Then there's 120 Days of Sodom of course, but there´s too much humour to be truly disturbing.

Justine by De Sade. Especially when he says it's less fiction than you would believe.

I'm currently reading Confederacy of Dunces and it's fucking me up. I'm seeing so much of myself in Ignatius. I'm a fat loser with an inflated ego who lives with his mom. It's making me mad. It's making me rethink how I live my life and how I treat people. It's funny, but it's really making me think about my own life.

Maldoror. I completely related with the protagonist now that some cunt put some black magic on me.

Mother Maggot is comically disgusting if that's what you're looking for
