Just finished reading Lord of the Flies. What a devastating read.

It is rare that when reading a book that I have to stop mid-sentence, cause I'm choking up, cause what is happening is so terrible.

That last chapter was especially stressful. Kept me awake for a long time (we read at night, i read aloud for both of us).

@rek I still remember feeling very unease when I read it (I was like 12 or 13)!

@rek Has xi thinking about how that book has displaced the entire genre that it was lambasting.

William Golding also wrote Pincher Martin which is, if possible, an even darker take on being marooned.
