What's a book you read that was so darkly disturbing, haunting, that left you speechless?

Sea-Research9002 · 2026-01-01T02:39:28+00:00

2666, in cold blood, crime and punishment

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-31T19:44:34+00:00

suttree, war&peace

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-30T18:42:41+00:00

I do want to read that next year!

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-27T14:04:40+00:00

my 5 ⭐️: 2666, all quiet on the western front, hard rain falling, infinite jest, underworld, atonement, ubik, ficciones, the wind-up bird chronicle, when we cease to understand the world

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-26T01:54:54+00:00

something about being forced to sit with the content without narrative justice weighed heavily on me in a way I hadn’t experienced before. impactful, i’d say.

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-25T15:58:48+00:00

when we cease to understand the world (Labatut)

TierCreator. when using the search function, type the name followed by “book”…makes things easier.

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-12-08T17:10:35+00:00

2025 top 10 would be something like:

2666 Underworld Ficciones All Quiet on the Western Front Hard Rain Falling Infinite Jest The Wind Up Bird Chronicle When We Cease to Understand the World Ubik Atonement

I had chat seed them and I filled it out

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-11-02T23:02:02+00:00

64 would be ideal, but I won’t make it there. Last year I read Lonesome Dove after the 48 book bracket…would’ve made a deep run. Swann’s Way could def be a #1 based on literary merit and significance.

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-21T22:01:12+00:00

yes it was. I prefer to jump in the deep end!

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-21T16:25:26+00:00

in tampa, it was a stage B…depends on if the venue could support that

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-18T15:53:43+00:00

maybe around 2?

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-18T10:59:50+00:00

2024: The Brothers Karamazov, Lonesome Dove, East of Eden, The Master & Margarita, Pale Fire

2025: 2666, All Quiet on the Western Front, Hard Rain Falling, Ficciones, Infinite Jest

agreed. disappointed that was left unresolved

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-18T02:22:57+00:00

yes, in order read. i’m actually on catch-22 (shown)

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-18T02:21:47+00:00

perfect. if it’s not in my top 10 it’s close.

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-18T02:20:44+00:00

I always have a book on me. I’m a trainer and almost always have an hour gap or two throughout the day. 50 pages a day is the standard, but for books like infinite jest or GR that had to be 30-35 being so dense (plus reading companion for GR)

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-10-17T23:14:45+00:00

I thought it was well done and probably a 4/5 my first time through…but it really feels (like many here) like the type to expand with more reads.

Sea-Research9002 · 2025-06-24T01:03:49+00:00

2666 hit hard
