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?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novella, ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’.
I don’t use recreational drugs, but while reading it about four years ago, I imagine the way it made me feel must be what it might be like to be high on hallucinogenic drugs.
All at once bizarre, maddening, fascinating, psychotic, trance-like, colorful yet drab, and mind-bending, yet I couldn’t stop reading it despite its occasional tendency to make me recoil.
Well written, and a wild ride. Highly recommended!
That has, hands down, the creepiest last sentence. I mean Japanese horror movie creepy. And it was written in 1892!
