Interesting or slightly weird books 14:01 - Dec 14 with 2669 views | Blue_Blob | As its getting close to Christmas I'm looking something for my step dad. He loves reading but he really enjoys the more zany style of books. Any one on here can recommend an out there style of book? Cheers in advance | | | | |

When i say zany i meant just a story that is generally bonkers. Doesn't have to be any particular genre. Just out there. | | | |

Interestingly one of the best books I've read is a lighthearted twist on the Old Testament. It's called: "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" In fact the author Christopher Moore has written some brilliantly funny and quirky stories, my other favourites are "Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove" and "The Island of the Sequined Love Nun" all of which were somewhat peculiar but incredibly endearing and very entertaining. | | | |

Factual in his younger days, obvs. It's a terrific book is that. | |

Interesting or slightly weird books on 14:20 - Dec 14 with 2623 views | BlueBadger | Pretty much anything by John Irving, but particularly 'The Hotel New Hampshire', 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' and 'A Son of the Circus'. | |

Great concept. But it gets so bloody annoying by half way through. | |
