I’ll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it’s about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I’ll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.
What is the wackiest / craziest book you’ve read and did you enjoy the ride?
I read Hothouse this year and also loved it. Some reviews I saw complained about the one-dimensional characters, and I see where they’re coming from, but the crazy imaginative stuff you mentioned made up for it in my opinion. Now I’m curious to check out more by Aldiss. Crazy/weird is my favorite genre!
Yes! And what happens to Gren is so weird and unexpected, which does actually give him more depth. Agreed. I will have to check out more Aldiss, also.
