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?

Hard to say. After Kafka I would've said Norwegian Wood. And after NW I would've said Hard-Boiled. After hard boiled, I would say Wind Up Bird.

I do think Killing Commendatore breaks the mold a little bit. I do want to stress his short story collections. They really are fantastic.
