ANYTHING by Tom Robbins - Especially Jitterbug Perfume, Skinny Legs and All, and Still Life with Woodpecker.

I also second Oryx and Crake and recommend Year of the Flood by Atwood, as well as Handmaiden's Tale.

Thankyou, give me ALLLLL you got.

For Ameri-tards input...

Terry Pratchett if you want something surreal with a comedic edge.

The Stand, by Steven King

The Red Dragon (dont know who wrote it)?


The Day the universe changed, by Aurthor C Clark

I really liked The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel.

The book is way different than the Hollywood movie, although I did enjoy the movie too.

I have been to Point Pleasant, West Virginia twice. I have met with people there, and I still can't figure out how much is true, and how much is fiction. It is a very believable tale of an encounter with the supernatural focusing around a town that experienced an actual disaster.
The Silver bridge collapsed during rush hour killing many people.

Montauk Project - Most excellent read and is said to be true, regardless of the truth it is fascinating! It was finished in one sitting for me, I couldn't put it down.

Another one that is fiction that has stayed with me forever as a favorite read was Swan Song by Robert McCammon

Happy Reading!

oh yea...discworld FTW. i just introduced my gf to pratchett...she's hooked.

if you like weird tales of the macabre then i'd recommend checking out HP lovecraft.

best story by his is "whisperer in the darkness".

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter Thompson, I didn't like this guys world view and I've read he was a perv but the book is interesting. Should meet your weird requirement.

Abduction to the Ninth Planet. Hands down best book you will ever read.

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove:
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

One of those rare books that actually makes me laugh out loud while I'm reading it.

Hey, I'm reading The Stand right now!
Actually, I like the movie better; the novel is a little
over-done.

Have you seen King's t.v. drama series about Kingdom Hospital? It's like a supernatural soap-opera, with S.K's quirky sense of humor thrown in. It's addicting as all hell.

If you can handle sci fi I'd go for the entire Dune series by Frank Herbert. Awesome stuff.

well lets start with the entire hitchikers guide to the galaxy series,then move on to everything written by tom sharpe.This guy is so funny youll piss your pants.Ben Elton is a cracker,Stark,for instance,shivers,all of a sudden a million books ive read come to mind.I wonder if the tv show blackadder was ever transcribed,that stuffs just genius.Well there you,theres about a years worth right there....
On a side note,I know its not comedy,but I just have to reccomend the great work of art that is the book Shogun,that will open your eyes up, and not to mention isaac asimov,philip.k.dick,aldrous huxley,it just goes on and on and on.....
god i love a good book!!!!...................

I have a book by him called the saratoga barrier,a bloody good little read,took me a day, once i started,couldnt put down,highly reccomended..............

I think you would love "Ishmeal"

Tales of Tongue Fu...Paul Krassner

P.s. That's Me behind the hot redhead.

YOU MUST BUY THE TIN DRUM, OMG AMAZING
