So, NG, what's a good disturbing read?
I was going to recommend Naked Lunch. If you haven't read it, be prepared for some extremely bizarre reading. The "story" is hard to follow because of the non-linear narrative, but it's one of my favourite books.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is fantastic as well.
If you like Naked Lunch, Burroughs did a book entitled Junky which is basically an account of his heroin-addicted life, and is a lot more easy to grasp than Naked Lunch, and still contains a good dose of madness for you.
Essentially, Burroughs is the way to go.
