Have you read 'Last Exit To Brooklyn' by Hubert Selby Jr.? Or 'Our Lady of the Flowers' by Jean Genet?

Both disturbed me a little when I was a young man.

Ooh I haven't read either! I'll give them both a go kirk and report back, thanks!

A really 'classic' book I enjoyed reading was 'Sons and Lovers' by D.H. Lawrence. Also 'Women in Love'.
Another book I read as a young woman was 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'. It was banned when it was first published and when I finally got to read it I wondered what all the fuss had been about.
