For me it was Gerald’s Game by Stephen King. I think it’s a fantastic novel with amazing character development. The main character is extremely realistic and well written. Despite the seemingly silly premise, I was invested throughout the entire thing. The main character’s development is really what sells it for me.
That being said, I am absolutely not reading it again anytime soon. There are two scenes in particular(if you’ve the book I’m sure you know) that managed to make extremely uncomfortable, mortified, and disgusted. My biggest fear is being trapped and helpless, so this book really got to me. Fantastic book, I’m never picking it up again.
Either that or Lord of the Flies… Dear God.
Good ol’ House of Leaves. It was a wild experience to read it, but I have no interest in reading it again.
I went the other way and jumped right back into it. I felt like I missed so much the first time through.
Same, but because I don’t think I could duplicate that insane experience. I had pneumonia and was alone.
I’ve never been able to finish it. I love it while I read it, but sometimes it fucks with my head or real life gets in the way. I have to really do it next time or I’ll never do it
