The book you like most discussion

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

Mine are definitely Stuffed and Unhinged, I still haven't recovered 😭

Dead Inside!! I love weird books so thank u for making this thread 😭😅

Early Riser, loved it. So strange.

the sluts by Dennis Cooper! that book bro! 😭😭😭😭✋🏾

Happenstance

Negative Space by B.R Yeager

Verity. There were times when I had absolutely no idea what to believe

Alice in wonderland is a little weird.

The eyes are the best part (good book)

as much as i loved "the secret history", it was more than weird

The Magus was pretty wild.

Earthlings

The Last House On Needle Street

Cannibals of Candyland

Unhinged By Vera Valentine. A door romance.... Yes you read that right

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. I wish I would DNF instead of forcing myself to finish reading it.

Either The Menstruating Mall by Carlton Mellick III or Psychic Teenage Bloodbath by Carl John Lee

It has got to be The Little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, I read it when I was younger and I could not make it left to right but recently I re-read it and I was able to find the story very interesting, still weird but nice.

Dungeon Crawler Carl. Weird because I was confused as to why this series is so popular. I wasn't a fan of the humor, the plot, or the characters. It felt like reading Ryan Reynold's tweeter feed.

I can't remember the details but The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall I hated because it felt so odd. A colleague had recommended it to me and I spent the whole time thinking "does he hate me?" (my colleague not the writer, but maybe both).

Most unhinged? I hated Crash by JG Ballard and The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

I can't remember the details of any of these three but they all grossed me out, made me angry and uncomfortable and felt strange.

The Exquisite Corpse by Alfred Chester. Though I didn't completely understand it, I felt I had read something quite important.

I came here to mention this book. I read a lot. I will never forget earthlings. It left scars.

Maybe not weird but definitely creepy "We Have Always Lived in the Castle".

Cassandra 📚 Dodging ONYX spoilers like the matrix hiatus wrote: "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. I wish I would DNF instead of forcing myself to finish reading it."

very few of mine get put in the do not finish category, simple because I keep thinking there must be something good in there

I do return quite a few to the library though after checking them out, reading a few pages here and there and deciding nope, not reading this

I think Bunny was up there on the weird scale.

I was a bit surprised by A Modest Proposal, mostly because it was published in 1729.

bookeater- weirdest book I've ever read

comatose by seven rue

The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro

Cursed Bunny was definitely weird and eerie.

Stone Blind was a weird perspective with an incredible twist at the end, but very creepy as a book...

Holy Knit, by Deborah Alexander

Animal Farm but good

The Magus by John Fowles. Watched a video that claimed The Eagles based the song Hotel California on this book. I can definitely see that. Unique.

The Klone and I by Danielle Steel

Graveyard Shift by M L Rio - so strange and had no actual point behind it

kafka on the shore

Out

Bunny by Mona Awad...I had to think really hard about "WTF did I just read?"
I loved it 😍

Definitely Earthlings by Sayaka Murata...

Weirdest book I've read is probably Symbiosis - Episode one: Poiesis by Valentina Kay and Daniele Bonfanti.
Now I'm not quite sure if it was because I didn't really understand it or that it was just strange to me. Never the less I finished reading the book and would say its the weirdest thing I have read.

Dead Astronauts by Jeff Vandermeer is the oddest book I've ever read. I don't know what happened in that book at all. Every time I think I understand part of it, I don't. Just a wild ride.

The Iron Giant. I LOVE the movie, but there was nothing similar between the movie and book. The book was so strange.

I would also like to add "The metamorphosis" by Kafka. Good weird though!

Honestly, any german classic. The sandman, Bahnwärter Thiel, Woyzeck and the sorrows of young Werther. They always kill themselves or die of something else.

perfume by Patrick Süskind

To be honest, anything by Erin Hunter, specifically the Warriors series. Don't get me wrong, I really like the series, but its really hard to explain to someone what its about lol.

The Redemption of Morgan Bright. Was not at all what I expected 🙈

But it was my favorite book for yearssssss

Also

If you think that one was weird... try some of his other books! Murakami is probably my favorite fiction author :)
