book trauma

After making that poll about YA fiction and including the question about book trauma (actually I just asked if there were books you regretted reading), I figured I should be willing to share my own book trauma. I'm sure you were all just waiting anxiously to hear about it. *g* So here's a chronological list of personal book traumas, probably missing a few things and not really all that exciting. Oh, I should mention that this post veers into the ick side of things, just a bit.

( Flowers in the Attic (mentions of non-con fictional incest) )

( a short story by Joyce Carol Oates )

( Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy )

( Why I don't worship at the altar of Neil Gaiman )

( out of chronological order: The Fountainhead )
