18 Great Reads That Changed My Life

http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/08/09/18-great-reads-that-changed-my-life/ post written by: Marc Email It’s fairly easy to find a well written book or online article.

http://degreedirectory.org/articles/25_Banned_Books_That_You_Should_Read_Today.html
In my younger days if I heard a book or movie was disturbing or hard to handle I generally took that as a challenge. Most books generally turned out to not be too bad, but occasionally I’d come across something that would leave me with a sick feeling in my stomach for weeks. I’ve largely outgrown this “genre” of late, but here are my picks for the ten most disturbing books of all time. Any one of these books is capable of leaving you feeling a little depressed at the least, and permanently scarred at the worst. I’d say enjoy, but that doesn’t really seem appropriate … 10.
