What's the weirdest book you've ever read?

That I have read-- Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe. It's long, chalk full of imagery, and is the epitome of dark introspection.

That I am reading-- Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. I'm currently reading it for my AP English class, Wow, stream of consciousness is crazy.

But I liked both of these books, and, if you're open to different things, I recommend them.

I would definitely have to say 'Slaughterhouse 5' by Vonnegut. I have no idea what the hell is wrog with that man, but it skips decades just about every chapter, gets abducted my aliens, i don't know, very odd.

Stephen Fry's "The Liar"...I couldn't even finish it.

Parody of HP, "Barry Trotter..." this was wierd for me too.

"The Wish List" by Eoin Colfer.People getting mixed up with the bodies of dogs on the way to hell? Eh, what? Don't know why I even finished this one.

haha, i read the Wish List. My favorite part was Satan playing his Gameboy. *ROTFL*

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there...especially the tale of the Wife of Bath and the Miller's tale...another one I read in English class this year!

Prolly either Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carol or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 is a great book, really interesting, but odd... It wasn't the plot so much as the writing style, I think.

Edit: Or else maybe Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart. That was rather disturbing.

The weirdest-and the coolest- is the Kingdom Keepers.

"The Wish List" was amazing. <3

I think it's the bundle of short stories of Gogol! Diary of a madman was just lunacy! and I am not even going to say anything rational about The Nose.

Gogol wanted to depict lunacy and he put that down nice and correctly,

I mean; Dogs writing letters to each other, A nose that is on the run as an aristocrat and much more

It was enjoyable though.
I would recommend it, to anyone who wants to lose his mind in the strange world of Gogol. He writes funny too!

I'm going to have to go with Edward Bloor's Storytime. Totally creeped me out. Abarat I could sort of understand, I saw where a lot of the puns were coming from, where he could've gotten his ideas. Storytime? I'd like to talk to Edward Bloor, maybe arrange an exorcism ^)^

THE LONDON PIDGEON WARS.

It was just so random! These pidgeons delcared war on the sparrows... I mean, what? It was hilariou, just... what!

Monster by Christopher Pike, also the bloodiest book I've read. It's so damn creepy. Whole idea. I felt like being sick as it described how she wanted to eat the dog... O_O.

"The Shining" by Stephen King. Scary as well as weird, but very, very weird.

EDIT: Actually, no... "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk. NEVER eat while reading that book. EVER. It's freaky, creepy, and very, very odd.

'Siberia'

Goodnes knows who wrote it. My Dad bought it for my little sister but I pinched it first and was like wtf? It's lunacy.
