The 50 Weirdest Books I've Read

I recently read a 'weirdest books ever' list and kept thinking that I've read far stranger stuff than that. These aren't in any particular order; some are weird on purpose, some are weird by accident and some are successful in trying to do weird things.
Oh.. and weird doesn't necessarily mean bad, some of these are very good.
