Weirdest book you've read
Dead Inside!! I love weird books so thank u for making this thread 😭😅
the sluts by Dennis Cooper! that book bro! 😭😭😭😭✋🏾
Verity. There were times when I had absolutely no idea what to believe
as much as i loved "the secret history", it was more than weird
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".

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