    have you tried on the road?
    or farenheit 451?
    or catch 22?
    or any kurt vonnegut?
    or tom robbins?
    or the electric koolaid acid test (which is all about ken kesey and san francisco and experimenting with acid in the 60's)?

    The weirdest one I've read must be A Clockwork Orange - "L'Orange Mécanique"...

    I personally found that one more childish than "wierd", a cheap attempt to redicule society... I did not like it.

    Yeah, but if I have to go through all my books and choose a weird one, it's the only one I can choose (compared to my other books, it is weird)

    Naked Lunch by Burroughs is the weirdest book I've read.

    Once I read a book abiut a ghost and I swear the book itself was haunted! It would keep changing stuff that happened in the story, the ending would always be slightly different when I read it and once there were 2 extra characters in it that I never found in the book again.

    THAT was weird!!

    The Collection by Bentley Little. It is a collection of horror stories, each one no longer than 12 pages apiece.
