charlesdee - 2016-02-16 4:54 AM  Please draw my attention to anyone you come across.

I went through my to-read list and poked about on Goodreads and came up with a bunch of books that look weird but that are pretty much off the radar.  It's a fair amount of experimental/surrealism/uncatagorizable stuff, with Europeans fairly heavily represented.  There's also a little bit of bizarro stuff, but only a few - a little of that goes a long way!  It's one book per author, and only authors that I haven't read (I think you have a good starter list of weird stuff I've read).  Anyhow, here's more weirdness than you can shake a stick at!
