And it for sure has the last chapter as Burgess wanted it.

"This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition and Burgess's introduction "A Clockwork Orange Resucked.""

Pretty much anything by Chuck Palahniuk.

• Haunted is probably the most flabbergasting, but it's so off the wall and unrelentless that after awhile you'll probably become numb to it.
  
• Survivor involves an interesting look at fictional cult behavior. As a bonus, it's also full of everyday household cleaning tips ("Remove protein stains (esp. semen) from clothing with cold salt water then wash as usual.", "Clean up small shards of broken glass using a piece of bread.", etc.)
  
• Diary is about art school, conspiracy, and material excess. Not the most disturbing of his novels unless a critique on suburbanism would scare you (it did me).
  
• Fight Club, I assume, requires no explanation. It's worth reading if you've seen the movie.
  
• Choke is another that's been adapted to the screen, so probably doesn't need an explanation. But for the record, I found it more amusing than disturbing.
  
  edit: Also, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. And The Road by Cormac McCarthy, but only for one scene around the middle... anyone who's read it knows what I mean. Other than that, I found it to be a very emotion-provoking novel, but not "disturbing" in the sense that I think you mean.

[A Clockwork Orange] (http://www.amazon.com/A-Clockwork-Orange-Anthony-Burgess/dp/0393312836/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=JAPB95VLPQSZ&coliid=I2M4STNI250M2T)

I've been told to read it a number times, so I might as well give it a try!

I immediately thought of A Clockwork Orange because there are hundreds of book covers and many are orange and have a head/skull shape as the central image.

I also found this book of ghost stories.

Thanks for posting this OP, I'm sure to find some good reading options in the comments.

Law school has turned reading into a chore, and recently I've tried to make an effort to re-inject some pleasure reading into my routine. It's been weird, since I have two totally different reading habits. I skim my law reading for important stuff, but I purposely reread paragraphs four or five times during pleasure reading. I want to be immersed in it rather than find the key points. Sort of odd, but I digress.

I recently enjoyed reading The Jester by James Patterson. I also read A Clockwork Orange for the second time, and it is a very fun read.

Last month I plowed through the Hunger Games to see what the hype was about and found them enjoyable for what they were. (8/10, would read again in like a decade when I forget most of it.)

• American Psycho
  
• A Clockwork Orange
  
• WatchMen
  
• The Prince

Oh man, I have so many used books on my wishlists. Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America, Flowers for Algernon, A Clockwork Orange, and The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making are some of my most-wanted from my Under $6 wishlist :D I also have an entire books wishlist! Any of the books except for the children's books are great used! (I don't like used children's books just because they take a beating quickly)
