This book is actually a play written during the Renaissance... which is why I had to read it for Renaissance class. It tells the story of a man who is fated to kill his own father and marry his mother. It's a classic, twisted tale that lets us know that no, today's generation isn't where the problems started. And, it wasn't the hippies either.
No, it was Sophocles, whose graphic ending is sure to leave your stomach turning. I read the passage out loud to Stuart, who immediately made noises of disgust and said, "That's gross, baby."
It is a captivating story, however - pure classic. Still, to get through the ending... I'd hate to see the live theater version.
