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?

Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami.

All of his books are a little odd but this one is truly baffling. Compelling story told using beautiful language and I kinda love it but I don’t understand it at all. I spent a few years post-read encouraging others in my circle to read it as well so we could “WTF?!?” at each other about it.
