Books That Made Me Think Their Authors Must Be Delightfully Odd

Here are 25 books that mostly cracked me up and all of them made me wonder just who is this person who writes such stuff? Some are serious novels dressed in a silly scenario, others make a point through humor, and others are just meant to be ridiculous. And then there is the poetry, and the singular weirdness of Donald Barthelme.
