1Q84 by Murikami,
a trilogy which is odd but good

The Last House on Needless Street . Very , very strange .

The Wasp Factory.

S by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. I wouldn't recommend it though.

And the Ass Looked at the Angel by Nick Cave
Welcome to Night Vale by Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink

also agree with House of Leaves

The particular sadness of lemon cake by Aimee Bender .. A book I wish I could read as if the first time .. the ending was a total surprise

Piranesi. Had no idea what was going on.

I loved House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. A thoroughly terrifying book. I read a lot of unusual fiction but this one is my favourite.

Heart Breaker by Claudia Day. It was wierd but I became immersed in the world she created. I loved it by the end.

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things

TerrierCollector · 18/07/2025 17:44

Maybe Naked Lunch. I read a lot of unusual books so it’s hard to pick one, and of course, they’re al strange in unique ways!

WhineAndWine1 · 18/07/2025 17:43

The cutting room. Still don’t get it

clazbear · 18/07/2025 17:20

Maybe others won’t think it odd, but I found Our Wives Under The Sea really strange!

Little, Big by John Crowley.

I absolutely love it, I've read it several times. But it's weird.
