I'm not laying down any laws. Nothing could be me more foreign. Make your own list if you dont like mine. It is actually OK to have different opinions on books.

Calm down buddy, I just thought it funny that you say no serial killer books and then list two. That line about sacred obligations was just a line I stole from the play I’m in.
I am very calm. I'm just maintaining my opinion that Misery is not about a serialkiller.
It’s not an opinion that Annie is a serial killer though.
She killed multiple babies, her college roommate, set her apartment on fire, killed her first husband, that dude trying to get pictures of the overlook, that officer out on the lawn.
This thread is dead. Its meaning is completely thrown out the window.
Dang man, just because I decided to challenge your points doesn’t change the original meaning of your thread.

Kurben - you are the most reasonable person on here so don't bother arguing.
As far as human horrors does it have to be people who did something bad to someone else? We had a young 21 year old man from Manitoba who died recently when his transport truck left the road and tilted onto its side. The cab filled with hot tar and he was very badly burned. To me that is a human horror. They tried to save him but he died in a hospital in North Dakota.
Sometimes I wonder if the pain he went through was humane. When someone is that badly burned you would think that to prolong his suffering would be wrong.
Dear lord that sounds like an unrealistic movie death, horrifying.
That is really horrible. I agree about that. My intention was novels. But i forgot to mention it. Stupid of me. But its very true that reality is often more horrible than any horrorbook.

Sorry - he actually died in a burn unit in Minneapolis

Anyway, just thought I should mention you seem a bit belligerent and argumentative. It's okay to disagree with someone but to go on and on about it isn't the greatest thing to do on the SKMB. Just my two cents worth.
Kurben - you're not stupid! I only wish I had the smarts you do
Compared to you I am a monkey! 
....ok kids, back to your respective corners and chill...
1. The Stepford Wives- Ira Levin
2. The Collector- John Fowles
3. Deliverance- James Dickey
4. Lord of the Flies- William Golding
5. Gerald's Game- Stephen King

Sorry about coming off like that, I just tend to get passionate about debates where I feel I have the upper hand. I just need to mellow out I guess.
Interesting. I havent read The Collector or Deliverance (sorry but i have only seen the movie)

The most horrifying and disgusting book I've read is called "When Rabbit Howls" - it's pretty bad.
Thanks for apologizing - Kurben is a really great guy and for some reason I just felt like I had to come to his defense.
I wasn’t attacking Kurben himself, just his points. No mean feelings towards him.
And thanks for the list!! This is what the thread should be about, everyone bring their faves to the table, getting and giving tips.
What do you say we'll let that whole discussion rest. Lets agree to disagree.OK?
Let it go, please. Make this thread about lists, not about debating them. Thanks!
