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?

The Dark Tower series by Steven King.

I think it felt crazy mostly because you had no clue what the fuck was going on. There wasn't really an explanation of the world or what was happening. You just kept hearing "The world has moved on." You go to some pretty whack places with pretty whack people, and at least in the first book, you get no explanation of why things are the way they are.

Ultimately, I got a few chapters into the second book and just gave up. I got annoyed feeling confused and not knowing what was going on or where I was. And the whole "lone cowboy on a mission" didn't really vibe with me either.
