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?

Love someone comes to town! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is my choice.

As a kid I hated the Fear and Loathing movie and picked up the book and was hooked right away. (I've come around on the movie now too.) That was 25 years ago - might be time for a re-read!

Fear and Loathing just oozes so much style that I couldn't help but love it. I read it after reading a few of Hunter S Thompson's famous articles like "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" where his voice is just as clear—easily some of my favorite non-fiction writing.
