I’ll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it’s about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I’ll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.

What is the wackiest / craziest book you’ve read and did you enjoy the ride?

    My parents had a copy and I read this when I was about 15 or 16. Over 2 decades later and I still think about it surprisingly often. It was wild.

    I keep thinking about reading it again but I almost don’t want to in case it ruins that memory of being a completely befuddled teenager trying to work out what the hell is supposed to be going on while reading it.

      It’s such a wild ride though, that on the second read I found about a million things that I missed first time around. It was a different experience, but maybe even more fulfilling than the first read.
