What is the most intense reading experience you've ever had?

[(Anonymous)]

Can be anything - fic, novel, web comic. (Not personal texts, letters, or emails though, since that's kind of a whole different beast.)

I know it's not cool to like Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire anymore, but I can still remember reading the Reek passages in A Dance With Dragons. Those were goddamn intense.

Not sure if this was the MOST intense, but right after I finished reading one of my favorite books to this day I went to the kitchen to get some cookies in the cabinet, and after opening the cabinet door the final phrase hit me like a truck and I stood there, paralyzed, arm in the air, SOBBING for a few seconds.
It was so intense that I reread it a few months later, and I couldn't remember the exact phrase that made me cry so hard (trauma effect lol) and I sobbed AGAIN.

The Grapes Of Wrath wrecked me. (I have scarcity issues. I made the mistake of getting drunk a few hours after finishing it and I ended up drunkenly bawling my eyes out.)

The Road wrecked me. (My dad and I are best friends, so it just hit a little too hard.)

The first really intense fanfic experience I ever had was The Last Summer by Annie Sewell Jennings. It was Spuffy apocalypse fic and I’m pretty sure I would find the prose purple and melodramatic now, but fourteen-year-old me cried and cried, and then was absolutely shook for like a week straight afterwards.

Parabiosis by Penumbra is a beloved fic in the X-Files fandom. Reading it was like a religious experience or something. I went full galaxy brain for hours, and then remained obsessed with it for years afterwards.

Sitting up all night to read a Starsky and Hutch fic. Can't remember the title but it's one of the classics of a classic fandom.

The two books that have consumed me most were Deathly Hallows and Dance with Dragons. I read each in one sitting and was so enthralled I didn't eat or drink the whole time.

It was a weird grimdark deconstruction of an effed up goresmut fic and ...uh ..I was off my meds at the time but for whatever reason it both fucked with my head and made me wanna read MORE. Don't ask me idk. But it's pretty hard to forget


Lesson learned? Don't read dark messed up fic when off my meds.

I remember reading "The Sacred and the Profane" (Good Omens!novel fic, by Afrai) completely fucking wrecked me a few years back.

I'm kinda afraid to look at it again.

At the risk of being Cliched, Lord of the Rings. I read it over a term at school, and I was constantly exhausted in class each day because I'd stayed up so late reading each night. It was gripping. For some reason I also listened to the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack constantly at the time too. I went through three cassette tapes of it, it wore out so much.

Reading "Dogsbody" as a kid. I don't think I've ever been so engaged and invested in a story before or sense. I just really wanted to know what happened.

I think also the time I read "Kafka on the Shore" on a plane. There was one scene that was so graphically violent but exquisitely written. I had to put the book down after the scene was over.
