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?

    I picked up a book called “Triggerfish Twist” by Tim Dorsey.

    Had never heard of this guy, had never read any of his books, didn’t know the book was in the middle of the series (I do this a lot finding new authors), but I liked the cover art, so I bought it. I read it in 1 day on a 4 hr. car trip. I couldn’t put it down! It’s the only book I’ve ever read that fast.

    It’s about a serial killer names Serge, and all the weird and crafty ways/reasons he comes up with to kill people. It is so damn funny, I had to go and get all the other books of series. I don’t want to give anything away, but there is a side plot with a bunch of crooked old ladies called the E-Team. They have some of the best exploits of the book.
