Ah well straight to Dostoyevsky & Proust for you then. But honestly it is a little extreme to describe any book as disgusting ... I mean if it's not your interest then surely the best option is to leave it on the shelf and not be exposing your sensibilities to being unnecessarily violated.

Happy Reading whatever genre you choose

I'm a teenager(17)....I enjoy reading Dostoevsky....Camus....a bit of Nietzsche...
