Welcome. I am fascinated by bizarre books, and have devoted numerous blog posts to the subject. The following highlights have been compiled especially for you.
Here are 10 books that I consider to be bizarre. I have added pithy comments/fictitious dialogue below each.
How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found
Would you trust the author to make you disappear when he can’t spell disappear?
This 50,000+ word lipogram novel claims not to use the letter e.

Owner: Yes Tiddles, approach the gun like that.
Tiddles: Meow, meow, purr.

Dating for Under a Dollar: 301 Ideas
Go to McDonald’s with your date and order a grilled onion cheddar burger from the dollar menu, then pull out 99c and plead until they let you off the 1c. Now cut the burger in 2 and give her/him half, but with all the onions.
Date: ‘All the onions? That’s so kind. Are you sure?’
You: ‘Yes I’m sure. Now eat them before I change my mind.’

Latawnya, the Naughty Horse, Learns to Say “No” to Drugs
This is how I imagine Latawnya the Naughty Horse learns how to say ‘No’ to drugs.
Someone walks into Latawnya’s stable holding some drugs.
Person: ‘Hi Latawnya you naughty horse, would you like some drugs?’
Latawnya: ‘Neighhhh.’
‘Let’s try that again shall we. Would you like some drugs?’
‘Neighhhh.’
‘Would you like some drugs?’
‘Neighhhno.’
Latawyna has learnt to say no to drugs. Have you?
Does GOD Ever Speak through CATS?
Cat: ‘Meow! Meow! Purr, purr, meow, hiss! MEOW! MEOW!’
Person: ‘Are you sure God? We already have 10 Commandments, do we really need an 11th?’
What ludicrous garments.
