Recommend me that book in your collection you usually don’t recommend people because it’s weird.
I love strange things that are unpredictable, don’t follow cliché storylines or overused plots, but are still well written and not only made for the sake of weirdness.
Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica— it’s super weird! and amazing!

I feel like Bunny by Mona Awad is ?maybe? a good fit here. It was really fucking strange, but the book is supposed to be satire so I suppose it is written to be strange in a way and kind of for the sake of weirdness. But I really enjoyed it, gave a me several laughs because if the absurdity of things sometimes.
Do look up TW/CW though, it is kind of descriptive of some topics I know some might not like.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Doug Adams
I’m not even remotely ashamed of liking either of these books, but they’re both a bit weird (for completely different reasons) and not exactly the type of stories that my family and friends would be into.
