Lucky, by Alice Seabold. The true story of her rape, the trial and the effects on herself, her family and her friends.
Very sad.

Down and Out in Paris and London. George Orwell.
That's good for a laugh.

Can't be arsed to check whether it's already been mentioned, but it's one of the most depressing books known to man.
I used to read my Mam and Dad's books, because they were there, before I started going to the park and drinking cider.
Dad's Tom Clancy, Wilbur Smith and Egyptology books were great and stood me in good stead for appreciating and understanding stuff but Mam's Virginia Andrews must have had the opposite effect.
Flowers in the Attic and the subsequent four or five books which depicted the lives of the incestuous, dysfuntional children who were locked in an attic and slowly poisoned with arsenic was particularly depressing prose.
Looking back, I'm surprised that they let the twelve year old me read them

"Realize" is the preferred spelling given the context. "Realise" is better in relation to financial transactions etc.Originally Posted by manker
But you knew that already, didn't you Rodrick.
The extraneous "l" I put down to keyboard hiccoughs. I need to look at the keyboard whilst typing and not the screen. A spare "l" is hard to see when scanning prior to posting. True story.

Can someone please arrange the above words into an appropriate sentence given the context provided by JP, I'd do it myself but my monitor is on the blink
