I read this book in high school and I would certainly classify this one as weird. The whole book kinda just had me questioning everything and has an Oedipus Rex thing going on. I didn’t think I would like it initially, but once I finished the book it was funny to look back on. Very strange though! 😭

edit: after re-reading your ask, I’ll admit not the weirdest book, but it’s also definitely not run of the mill narrative fiction.
If you want weird, read Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. One of the most banned books of all time for a reason, grotesque, obscene, challenging, but imo definitely worth the read and I’ll be rereading it sometime. Helps to read along with a study guide to make sure you’re following what’s going on.

One of my fav books. In Tokyo, after dark, a young girl wanders around experiencing city life. It‘s split up into hours of the night and you can read in real time if you’re dedicated enough. The author loves referencing pop culture too, If you’re into that i’d definitely check it out

Man is a FREAK OF NATURE. I don't know about inspiring, but it turned my day to night. I love his writing, it's deeply unsettling stuff.
