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?

I have read several Philip K. Dick books lately. They are all crazy in their own way, but Ubik might have been the craziest so far of what I read. I look forward to more of his books. Oh, and I also read a really weird classic sci fi recently—Hothouse, by Brian Aldiss. I am discovering I really like crazy and weird books.

have u read "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch"? Craziest PKD in my opinion, and one of his best.
