This should be no surprise, among strangest books ever written.

Both The Magus & The Collector are completely different with brilliant stories. The very first 8 pages of A Maggot were great read, later the rest wasn't too keen to have me keep reading it further...

I read a lot - some books get pretty strange. I'm loath to go into any real detail because it might impact free interpretation and presentation. I will, however, offer up two examples of favorite strange books which are rather different. Katherine Dunn - Geek Love  If you haven't read it - hmmm, don't even know what to say here. and Yerzi (Jerzy) Kazinski - The Painted Bird  I am quite taken by thispainting - I read the book about 20 years ago, and this brings up some long forgotten psychoemotional and psychoneuroimmulogical response. Yep, what a strange powerful book that was! |
