Re: Wacky/unusual books you own
Must admit that my curiosity is piqued too...
Did I mention that I am a Role Playing Game aficionado and have some baroque pearls in my collections, such as games that reproduce magical girl anime, or US high school life including rules for sex and drugs (but no mention of Rock'n Roll)?

All the books I've collected by Georges Perec. Total nutjob, total genius, astoundingly creative takes on what writing could be. Tragic death at the obscene age of 36 or something like that.
Highly, highly recommended.

Which reminds me - I have a book called "P.S. Your Cat is Dead".PsychoSerenity wrote:I've got a very rare first edition of an exceedingly strange book called "Percy Gets Probed".
A very weird read. I exchanged it for one I had finished reading while on holiday.

One book I'm going to put on the wacky shelf if I don't dispose of it when I'm done with it is titled 'The God Delusion'

Re: Wacky/unusual books you own
I have an unabridged republication of a 1928 translation of The Malleus Maleficarum. I'll admit I haven't actually read it.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Re: Wacky/unusual books you own
For some reason this reminded me of Dr Rat, which I read as a kid. Any book that has the dialogue, "My b-b-balls are f-f-freezing, Dr Rat," in it is a winner as far as I'm concernedBella Fortuna wrote:Wow, that's an old one...

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.
