Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again using the term absolute is challenging.
My friend, who is an author as well recommended this book to me about a year ago, and it was haunting and worth the read.
This book was so incredible! I don’t know how I’ve never heard of it until now, but I’m really glad it was recommended to me❤️ it’s not a feel good book exactly, but more of a make you think about the bigger philosophical picture type of thing. Definitely worth it, whatever it makes you feel! -Meagan Pody
Naturally, my initial response is Lord of the Flies and I talk about it here.. I imagine many other people will as well.
I read this book in the 10th grade and, looking back I’m surprised I finished it, although gritty, it was a compelling book. War is ugly no matter what word it is.. the Civil War was no different. Prisoner of war camps during the Civil War were notoriously. Gruesome.
I even do it in my own writing. This story I had published on Creekside Press and the main character is a person living on the streets during a snowstorm in Portland.. I hope the story offers a little bit of hope despite the less than ideal conditions.

I could go on and on with Books that take you to places that are uncomfortable. I started a book the other day that’s took you inside the scum that is Facebook.. I was so damn uncomfortable with the book that it went on my shelf of unfinished..
I would love to hear you opinion as well
