I’ll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it’s about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I’ll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.
What is the wackiest / craziest book you’ve read and did you enjoy the ride?
This is going to sound absurd, but East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I went into that thinking I’d get through maybe a chapter before getting bored of it. It introduced me immediately to two brothers, one jealously tries to kill the other with a hatchet. Then the other goes on to marry a woman who is literally demented and murders and manipulates everyone she’s ever met (including burning her parents in a house fire). It was soooo exciting and surprising to read! Definitely not what I was expecting. And later on while she’s pregnant with twins she shoots her husband for trying to help her through labour! It was wild.
