I’ll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it’s about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I’ll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.
What is the wackiest / craziest book you’ve read and did you enjoy the ride?

Liarmouth a feel bad romance- John Waters
A talking penis. That is all you need to know.
The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series
Chouette by Claire Oshetsky. I picked this one up in the store because the cover drew me in. I read the back of it, shook my head, read it again, shook my head again, and opened up. Here’s how it starts
I dream I’m making tender love with an owl. The next morning I see talon marks across my chest that trace the path of my owl-lover’s embrace. Two weeks later I learn that I’m pregnant.
You may wonder: How could such a thing come to pass between woman and owl?
I, too, am astounded, because my owl-lover was a woman.
And, oh yes, it gets so much weirder from there.
I am reading Tales from the Gas Station, Volume 1, at the moment. I’m not quite sure what’s going on… There are garden gnomes, and racoons and the ghost of a cowboy/clown in the bathroom… It’s really weird but so incredibly hilarious!!
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks The Bad Place by Dean Koontz
I read a novel told entirely from the perspective of a crow.
I attempted to read Modelland by Tyra Banks as I’d heard it was a hot mess. I had to nope out after a couple of chapters. Absolutely bananas. Turns out trying to read bad books isn’t as fun as watching bad movies, folks.
Tender is the Flesh
Genesis by W.A Harbinson. UFOs are real but…
Crazy as bad crazy? “The great Gatsby.” Crazy as funny? Wayside stories from wayside school. Shut was funny as hell when I was little
Tampa by Alissa Nutting. So twisted and sick, especially when I learned it’s inspired by Debra Lafave, a Tampa teacher charged with raping one of her middle school students in 2013.
Craziest? Has to be American Psycho. I mean, that book is just……wow.
Sonic the Hedgehog in Robotniks Laboratory.
Sonic is transmogrified into a toaster and can only communicate with the rest of the cast via a yes/no system of toasting slices of bread.
The wind up bird chronicle by Haruki Murakami
What the hell did I read?
American Psycho. The movie is excellent. The book is fucking disturbing. Wasn’t prepared for the necrophilia or cannibalism.
I think the movie got it right, just disturbing enough to see how nuts he is, but keeping things in normal horror movie realm.
