I have to be honest. The DGE&NHR was not even on my list but I'm bumping it to the top on your recommendation.
Catherine said "Heart of Darkness" gave her a mild case of Stockholm Syndrome about halfway through. I remember she stayed up late a few nights to finish it and kept waking me up by whispering "dammit" every so often.
I did the same thing recently with Cormac Mcarthy's "The Road". I could not wait to be done with the wretched thing but I couldn't just stop reading it either. As a matter of fact, I'm in the market for some good Adams-esqe humor just to the the taste out of my brain.
