1. The Goebbels Diaries, Joseph Gobbels
2. The 120 Days of Sodom, Marquis DeSade
I couldn't finish the Gobbels Diaries. I felt like I needed a shower every time I opened the book. The DeSade novel, while almost unbearably sickening, did provide useful insights into certain forms of psychosexual madness.

The Goebbels Diaries
This is just a collection of his personal writings?

I'd like to see that. Is it online somewhere?

Wasn't there a movie made ~70s loosely based on this?

This is Dr. Goebbels's actual diary. I believe it comes in two volumes; one pre-war, the other written during the war.

I'm a Burroughs fan, so NL is in my library. When my daughter was a child, I'd read selected passages to her at bedtime; our favorite one was the story of the man with the talking a-hole. What a hoot.

"Yonder Stands your Orphan" - Barry Hannah

A neo-modernist work about all things Mississippi. I believe there were six or seven scenes of genital mutilation in the book.

Overall, however, it's a 6.638900820000212121/10.00.

Helter Skelter was grotesque and unnerving, mostly because it was a true story.
