Bizarre, weird, taboo or unorthodox books that you've read.

[QUOTE=Cheezy;30901580]Why are so many people posting some of the most popular novels ever written if this thread is dedicated to the obscure and bizarre titles? This isn't the thread for "1984", "A brave new world", "A clockwork orange", "Fahrenheit 451" or anything of the sort.[/QUOTE]
the title says it's about bizarre and weird books, not unknown books that no one has read. if a book is popular it doesn't mean it can't be weird or bizarre. Actually, more than not, popular novels are one of a kind.
hands down

Never read it but I imagine it's full of girl on girl and girl on horse.
No plans to read this ever.

Buy one creepy ass book get the other free!
Alright now this one I did read becuase the premise was so strange I had to see how the fuck they did it.
I am not a romance reader, but my mom is, in fact she's a published romance author.
She told me about this and I couldn't believe it existed.
Yes, Elizabeth fucks a zombie.

What in the name of god...
I read a book once about how to cook complete meals on your car engine.
I tried the broiled chicken on my car. It was okay.
[QUOTE=ElChrisman99;30887215]*Mein Kampf*
Have read it, original German version, very strange and interesting read. It does not feel like it was written by a insane genocidal madman at all... Brilliant war tactician though.[/QUOTE]
If you want something by Hitler that does read like an insane genocidal madman try his [url=http://www.hitler.org/writings/last_testament/]last political testament[/url], though it's only about a page long. Just one quote: [I]"After six years of war which, despite all setbacks, will one day go down in history as the most glorious and heroic manifestation of the struggle for existence of a nation".[/I]
I guarantee it's the most entertaining deluded rant you'll read by a historical figure.
I love Naked Lunch. That chapter about the mugwump always makes me cringe.

Incredible book about a delusional Japanese soldier during the closing weeks of the World War 2.
HIGHLY recommend it!
It's also very short, you could read it in an afternoon.

The book is a transformed demon. He "talks" to you through the text, and wants you to burn him. The "story" is thus lengthy rants about how much of a stubborn idiot you are for continuing to read when you could be busy feeding a fire, steady trickles of info relating to how he got from hell to literal paperback, and [i]god damn you burn me already[/i]

One of the most trippy, and funny books intended for children I have read.
[quote]This book is told from the point of view of a young boy named Melvin. Borgel shows up one day at the house where Melvin and his family live, claiming to be somehow related to the family, although no one (apparently not even Borgel himself) is entirely sure how. Borgel is eccentric, to say the least, but in time he befriends Melvin. Melvin often goes to a local cafe with Borgel where Borgel often talks in a strange language with other patrons. One night Borgel invites Melvin to go for a walk with him and the family dog, Fafner. Borgel ends up using a wire hanger to break into his car, a Dorbzeldge.
As they are traveling along the highway Borgel tells Melvin about traveling though time-space and the other. He explains that he is a time tourist, that time is like a map of New Jersey, and that space is like an elliptical bagel with poppy seeds. Melvin thinks Borgel has gone crazy but soon they are traveling on an invisible highway in space. In space Fafner can speak, and he repeatedly criticizes Melvin and everything Melvin does.
The trio end up meeting multiple interesting people such as a bloboform, a man who sleeps upside down in trees, and Hapless Toad (the weak son of the genius Evil Toad, who has met the Great Popsicle), among others. They eventually pick up a strange person called Freddie Nfbnm*. Freddie Nfbnm* persuades the group to search for the Great Popsicle, one of the 26 most powerful living beings in the universe.
They go to an island in space with a Glugo, an ape they meet in the suburbs of Hell who agrees to help them find the Great Popsicle. Glubgo warns the group that Freddie is a Grivnizoid—a large and viscous species capable of disguising itself, in this case as a normal person. The popsicle is seen frolicking peacefully in the fields and he is surrounded by a feeling of love that rubs off on all others who see the popsicle. In an attempt to gain the power of the popsicle, Freddie eats it (confirming that he is, in fact, a Grivnizoid). Instead of gaining fearsome powers he becomes like the popsicle and begins skipping around the island. The original trio leaves and returns to Earth. They arrive at the same time they left as they had traveled through time.[/quote]
The original copy of the book is extremely hard to find, yet you can find it in a compilation of 4 storys by Daniel Pinkwater. I loved this book as a kid when I found it randomly at a library, I recommend you give this a read, and then give it to a kid to read.
[QUOTE=a dumb bear;30874511]In a "horror story" my brother was reading, a guy named his cat "nigger man".
This is about a man who kidnaps a woman, then keeps her in his house with no form of contact to the outside world. It's pretty weird, as you can imagine.
[/QUOTE]
Rats in the Walls by H.P. Lovecraft was the one with niggerman in it. I think I'll name my next cat that.

Sharp Teeth
by Toby Barlow
[url]http://www.harpercollins.com/books/Sharp-Teeth-Toby-Barlow/?isbn=9780061430220[/url]
It's a novel, but the entire book is written in free-form poetry. If you like reading/books/words in general, you should get Sharp Teeth.
Catcher in the rye and the communist manifesto. fairly basic taboo books.

Incredibly strange book about dead people, a drug called soy sauce, and exploding Jamaicans who tell you your dreams for beer. The book is an odd mixture of horror and comedy, shitty puns, and scat humor. It has great characters and is very well written, the author writes for cracked.com.
There is a second book being written, and Don Coscarelli (wrote/directed Bubba Ho-Tep) is making the movie.[/QUOTE]
I read about a third of this and overall its good... there are just some parts I'm iffy about and the writing kind of bothers me

Um? media tags no work?
Well holy shit that's huge.
Using Media tags for large picture.
*Complaints and wtf's below.
Honestly, wtf is up with the look of the demon?
Is that the largest number that came off the top of his head?
Can someone explain this book better then "3 people save ninety trillion existences by slaying demons?"
Honestly if that thing they show with the ugly face is a demon how is that puny mortal going to slay it?
The demons must die" was used by the Salem witch trials too, but I don't think this book is related.
There is only one positive note I can think of.
*Positive notes.
That chick almost looks naked in space, and I think that is awesome.

That is a rather Freudian way of looking at things.
I think the author needed to have "closer" a bit tooooooo much.
No media tags for images anymore.

Fired from his job at the Analsausage Fuck Factory, Lucifer Niggerbastard sets off on an epic quest with his compatriots, a burbling sack of babyshit and Rojir the razor-bladed dildo. Written based off an outline of the events of Virgil’s Aeneid scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin by a drunk, The Vagina Ass of Lucifer Niggerbastard is an epic tale told in a bizarro-author’s take on the ancient Homeric masters. Hey, all writers are thieves. It’s just illegal if the dead author you steal from hasn’t rotted enough yet. Actually, this book is pretty much nothing like the Aeneid. It’s more like the Odyssey, only more fucked up, more epic, and definitely more interesting to read. Is it a commentary on how fucked up things are yet again? Maybe. Probably. Yes. If you don’t have a sense of humor or “bad words” get your ass in a twist, don’t read this fucking book.
This is to The vagina ass of lucifer.
I found it by looking up the authors name..
Let's just say it is a "epic quest" novel. In the same way that Excell saga is a relevant story.
This is the words I get when looking up "fuck me in the ass by that author's name."
This is the tale of two lovers who meet in the middle of a tattoo party– an epic orgy of ink slinging where designs flow like life and souls make connections that last for fucking ever. This book is a mental enema that will change your outlook on love, life and the world around you. You will never be the same again after letting yourself fall into its fucking pages.

lol is all I can say to this one.
[QUOTE=Novistador;30894676]12 year olds like that kind of shit, when my younger brother was that age he read like all ten of those books in a week.
I think the books are catered to the gross out humor and short attention span of a 12 year old, every single one of the books begins like this (if you have access to them flip through the first page of each one and you'll see I'm not lying)
"The GIGANTIC blood covered demon with the head of a lizard and body of a zombie gorilla ripped out his eyes, blood sprayed everywhere and he screamed in agony, the demon then bit off his face and chewed his dismembered nose into a pulp and spit it back at him"
Just swap out the kind of animal the demon is a combination of, and the body part being mutilated and thats how they all start.[/QUOTE]
I loved those books as a kid, but the ridiculous 'let's stick the head of one animal on the body of another that's scary right?' designs of the demons really didn't do them any favours.

Awesome awesome awesome book. Not really too weird or bizarre though.
i'd say a run where you can't stop or get shot that people voluntary attend to, including pretty detailed descriptions of some deaths, is pretty bizarre.

It's one of those cheeky books that has a hilariously offensive title that only strenuously relates to anything in it. I believe horses are mentioned... three times throughout the course of the book? Only in passing, of course.
