I've been thinking about Nightwood a lot for a couple of days now. I read it for my Modern American Lit coursework eight years ago. Very weird book indeed.Quote:

The weirdest book I ever read was "Caroline." Its cool but yet a little weird.
The girl in the box by Ouida Sebestyen
It's about a girl who gets captured and thrown into a cement cellar and all she has are the clothes on her back, a type writer, bakery items, and an old jar of water.
Slaughter-House 5. What a trip.
Try will self's "a crack rock the size of the ritz"
very strange
but it does exactly what it says on the can !
i read Afterdark by Murakami.
I cant say it was the weirdest book ever, but it made me think a lot over the plot. still i must say i enjoyed the idea. =)
Kafka On the Shore by Murakami. But Mysteries by Knut Hamsun is definitely a close second. Mysteries has a much more linear progression but was infinitely harder for me to understand.
Melville's Pierre.
I might have mentioned it here before, actually; but I cannot complain enough about this outrageously bizarre book!
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.
I had to read this for year 11 English. I finished it and just thought: "Wow, that was wack."
Really enjoyed it though, however it was pretty hard to discern what was reality and what was Chief's delusions within the novel. :D
weird good or weird weird? for weird weird then Naked Lunch for weird good then Metamorphosis
Ugh-- Love in the Ruins by Walker PErcy...my gosh I how I hated that book! It took some couple hundred pages to really have any idea what the heck was going on...
Moscow-Petushki by Wenedikt Jerofejew.
Kafka on the Shore closely followed by Slaughterhouse 5. But still Kafka on the Shore. After I had finished it it was in my head for days because that was the first time ever that I could not even remotely say what deeper meaning there was. I wonder if there is an interpretation available. Because if there is, I would really like to have it.
metamorphosis and basically all kafka's stuff. a horse that wants to become a lawyer?!
