I, for one, can't think of anything extremely weird at the moment, but I'm curious as to what others will say. :) Can't wait to hear and I'll add my own 'Weirdest Read' in the near future.

Okay... So, I'd have to say my weirdest read was Singer. I can't exactly remember the author, but the plot was extremely blatant and I even managed to get myself confuesed a few times...

Second thing would be my friend's christmas present to me last year... Manga Claus.

I can't remember the name of the book....I think it was called Tell Me What You See, but it was extremely scary - not in the Stephan King way, though, but more of the...double-you tee eff way. It was confusing and random and the whole thing I just kept shouting "WHAT THE HECK!?!!?!"

I read this book..I'm drawing a blank on what it's called but it was too unrealistic and weird. This girl got a 2.5 million doller tip at this old diner she worked at. I was like "Oh yeah, that's really going to happen."

Wow... Very unrealistic. But, you know, you can help but wish that would actually happen. ^-^ It would be totally awesome, but... Never gonna happen.

I have a folder at school called Random Junk. It features stuff I write with my friend. And he wrote the weirdest thing I have ever read:

There are six Havishtelli in a bath, when one of them decides to eat a hotdog. So she does. And it gets eaten. Halfway around the world, a donkey decides to go to France, but only if the elf agreed (he did not) with her mother’s turnip. So, when the elf died, an elk took over its body and decided to turn it into pate. So when the donkey decided to attempt to go to France again for the minus oneth time, it ate the pate with a cheeseburger made out of lambs and dead horseshoes. And since it didn’t throw up, it decided that it would journey to France. But after the eating of two women and having an intellectual conversation with the Eiffel tower, the donkey decided that it was indeed already in France. So it got in a deckchair and decided to teleport to the other side of the world. It turned into a hotdog and was Eaten by a Havishtella two years before it teleported. But then a doctor came and made the pate into an elf again, so everyone was happy. Or were they? And the five other Havishtelli answered ‘No soap radio!’ This is funny because all three of the words themselves contain the letter ‘O’. And the only word which has three Os in it is ‘boobo’. And if you take out all the Os out of boobo then you get BB or Bed and Breakfast. And I was staying in a B+B when there was a weird woman dressed as a man who (just make it up from here until you get to the race of multicoloured and hermaphroditic dwarves who live in the centre of the Earth as proven by a book).

That was very... strange. I got confused there for a sec, so I had to go back and read it again. I think that has to beat everything that's been said so far.

Um...either Diary or Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Those are probably his weirdest (that's what I think, personally), and Choke is pretty much my least favorite book by him.

As far as books go, the weirdest has to be "Six Moon Dance". Can't remember the author, but it had like six million things going on on several different planets. Some of it was a bit much for my 14-year-old self, since it was pretty sexual. Or was I 15? Either way, I was a bit creeped out, but fascinated at the same time. And somehow, the millions of things all came together in the end in a very weird way. Wasn't a badly written book, just rather strange.

As far as any writing period goes? Probably lovely middle school creations. Examples include our interpretation of Viking history (it involved lots of duct tape), the "Detroit" version of the fight scene in Romeo and Juliet (complete with drug dealers, a mafia Prince, a censor guy, and a random hobo who forgot his line), and the circle stories we made in 8th grade for no real reason(they involved classmates getting eaten by teachers, an analysis of semen vs. seamen, and other randomness). Amazing stuff.

I knew someone would mention Kafka. Weirdest thing which I disliked was this Japanese book. I don't know if it was the translation that made it awkward to read but it was very strange. It dealt with some kid murdering his mother and then running away on a girl's bicycle.

Weirdest that I have liked is Vonnegut's Slaughter-house 5 and Kerouac's On the Road.

Naked Lunch, by William Burroughs. Far and away the craziest shit I have ever put into my head. For young writers, I wouldn't quite recommend it. But eventaully in your life everyone should read that book.
"Is", "is." "is" — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything "is"; I only know how it seems to me at this moment. -Robert Anton Wilson

When I think weird and book, two books immediately come to mind.

One is called River Boy, I can't remember who wrote that one.

The second is the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula LeGuin. She has got to have the weirdest writing style I've ever read.

Ha ha, Twilight, seriously, if you really think about it...

OK, chill all you Twilight fans, I love Twilight too, but seriously..
A human, falling in love with a vampire... kind of weird.

*Plot Spoilers*
I also read this book called Death Instinct by Bentley Little, it was a good book but some of the stuff in it was so weird.
There was this woman in her 20's and she lives with her father because he can't take care of himself and well this other woman and her son move in across the street when all these killings start to happen.
The cops couldn't get a trace on the killer because he left no proof behind, no clues and had no MO. His killings were completely random and there was no pattern, so they couldn't even predict who was next.
There was some pretty suspenseful moments, and some really disturbing ones.
In the end, it was the boy who moved in across the street, he had some mental disorder which allowed him to excel at one thing, and that one thing was killing.
Some of the stuff the kid do was extremely sick, I'd probably never read the book again, I probably wouldn't of finished it if the writing hadn't been so good.

Weirdest thing I've written: a Hitchhiker's Guide fanfic I wrote (or, tried to) last year. It was about Earth celebrities, including Tom Cruise/Scientology/the Couch Incident. It sounds even worse than it is.
Weirdest non-published thing I've read: There was this really, really weird story someone posted on Yahoo! Answers for review. Honestly though, it wasn't as weird as it was...terrible. I've done two or three searches for it and haven't been able to find it.
Weirdest published thing I've read: A few years ago I read a children's novel called Little Darlings by Sam Llewellyn. It was just - weird, extremely weird.

I think that Abarat deserves a place among the strangest books I've ever read. It's been a while since I've read the first or its sequel, but I can remember quite well that it was weeeeird.
