Number of The Beast, by Robert A. Heinlein

One of my top ten all time favorite books. I've read that one at least 5 times.

I'll have to reread it once I finish the complete set of Hitchhiker's Guid to the Galaxy. The first time I read it was in high school (10th or 11th), and I got really lost in the last few chapters because Heinlein started referencing stuff I didn't understand, like other books and such.

Yeah, I still don't get all of the references, but enjoy it nonetheless.

I can't decide if I want to read 'guts' or not. Should I continue reading?

Almost anything by Clive Barker. That guy is one sick and twisted homosexual. And his books reflect that, but for some reason, I just really like it. I can recommend the "Books of Blood", all of them. I think Sacrament was one of the weirdest books I read by him

(Read it when I was like 12 or 13. Quite entertaining actually.)

Rose Madder or Geralds Game by Stephen King, also some works by Poe were incredibly disturbing.

excelent book, but w:Qw can you say tormented?

I was just coming here to post that. It wins, hands down. Such a strange book, but I loved it. I can't say I "got" it, but damn if it wasn't fun to read.

Did you know that he's the musical artist Poe's brother? A lot of her album "Haunted" is based off the book, including the somewhat popular "Hey Pretty."

Actually, I think I made a mistake with my pick. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle is the messed up one, not the Wild Sheep Chase. 😱

I read this a while ago and mixed them up. WSC is still pretty bizarre though.
