What's the wierdest book you've ever read?
It's so awesome, but odd. The story of Pride and Prejudice, but with zombies constantly eating the help. Elizabeth Bennet doesn't have to focus on being a proper lady, she has to focus on keeping her fighting skills up to snuff so that the bitten chamber maid doesn't take a chunk out of her.
What about you?

Victor Mancini has devised a scam to pay for his mother's medical care: pretend to be choking on a piece of food in a restaurant and the person who "saves" you will feel responsible for the rest of their lives. Multiply that by a couple of hundred times and you generate a healthy income.
This one's a keeper!

"Unbeknownst to most of the other characters, Alan and his brothers are not quite human. Their father is a mountain and their mother is a washing machine. Alan's eldest brother can see the future, his second-eldest is an island, his third-eldest is undead, and his three youngest brothers are a set of Russian nesting dolls. Alan is the most normal-seeming of his family. Outwardly, he looks human, but he heals at an incredible rate, and if part of him is cut off, it will grow back, and the cut off part will begin to form a new copy of him, much like an earthworm does."

Great book, but slightly crazy.
A few passages from the book:
"He is embarrassed for the pizza box. He folds it. ‘Shit-eating grin.’ He needs to stop. He needs to use his face to convey emotions to other humans in order to move sincerely through life - laughing in groups of three or four; expressing gratitude, concern, or disapproval about people, the weather, or food; and manipulating members of either sex to get them to love him, like him, or respect him. That is what a face is for."
"She never thinks about Andrew; hasn’t ever e-mailed or called. Andrew never e-mails or calls either, really, just has imaginary conversations with her almost constantly; his idea of her. Maybe he will e-mail her tonight. She will respond with a form letter. We thank you for your submission but are unable to see your work at this time."

It's a little hard to read, but tells a very paranoid story at the same time. You feel like you're reading something a serial killer might write...
It's very disconcerting, but somehow devilishly enjoyable.
