What's the most depressing and/or disturbing novel you've ever read?
M Y D I A R Y T B H
Anna Karenina probably.
Just the realization that life is really that shitty. Even Levin and Kitty who are the "Happy" couple, are not passionately in love. They just don't hate each other and are content enough not to always bicker and argue.
the castle
it's just too much

Under The Volcano for me, after reading it the whole woving transform the way I meddle sentimentally with literature.
The Idiot
Most disturbing was definitely Geek Love. It has no other worthwhile qualities, but it made me nauseous.
