Another book that I have read that was actually good, though very gory and messed up, was Battle Royale. All these classmates are put into a situation where they have to kill each other until only 1 person is left. Quite a good book, actually.

Without even reading your post (just the thread title), American Psycho was what I was going to say, closely followed by Glamorama, also be Bret Easton Ellis.
Body language by Rajendra Bhatt..
He himselves have no idea on what he's writting.. Except how to improve our body language he's described on whether to have romance at work!!
Oh wow. I would say The Giver. Its a VERY strange book about a controlled community. There is a giver and he holds all the painful memories and good memories of the past. Thats pretty much the basics. I could go into great detail, but if you want a very wierd book to read, read that one. Its also very short and easy to understand.
Uhhh, I dont read books, exept in the 8th grade i read the Shadow children series. It was good!
Well this isn't really a book, but just a short story we read in my english class. We were reading modern day fairy tales, and we got to little red riding hood. It starts out fine.. "She went to her grandmas house..." blah blah blah. Then when she sees the wolf disguised as her grandma this is what it says "She knew right away from the furry face and large teeth it had that it wasn't her grandma, so she took her automatic out from her basket and shot that wolf dead." It was a little.. scratch that... a lot different that I expected. Thats my book
Haha, nice topic. I don't read many weird books but I've read a couple. I remember DEAR, my school had it, too... so glad all that is over.
Anyway, the most messed up book I've probably read is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Which is quickly followed by probably a Kurt Vonnegut book. I've read a couple of them (Cat's Cradle and Slaughter House Five) those are pretty messed up, too, but so good! Kurt Vonnegut is seriously one of the best weird authors I know. And Fear and Loathing was, well, pretty funny, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be 
I can't and won't say
it could offend sensitive posters but it's about the readers opinion since one persons meat is another's poison.
Try reading Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce sometime.

I gotta agree with the OP.....American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis is probably the craziest book i've read. The book knocks the movie out of the water (although i'm a big fan of the adaptation). The way he describes the thoughts and processes of that crazy Patrick Bateman is amazing. I really loved the chapters that would just go on for 3 or 4 pages about some new music that came out and he would critique all the songs....but then the next chapter would feature him butchering up some hooker or torturing animals. The descriptions are really amazing and it seems like the author is a little messed up as well.
I've been dying to read the other books by this author. Another of them has been made into a movie as well and it's called The Rules of Attraction. It's a really crazy movie with some messed up storylines. I bet the book is just as good. I need to read more books and may be checking out some of the selections listed here. Thanks guys....looks good. Latest Entries

not necessarily messed up, but The Hot Zone by Richard preston gave me goosebumps. It's very graphic, and whats more, its not fiction... its actually real. The ebola virus is real, so its chilling to read accounts of actual people who've caught it. Vomit, blood, bile... if you're interested in extreme phenomenon or a science buff, or just want a good story to chew on, check it out.
The Tim Drum a novel by Günter Grass. Some might say it is a Jewell of the world literature but that book was really messed up, I red it when I was mm in 9 grade, and it was crazy... First of all the book is huge, which it wasn't a problem for me at the beginning since I love to read, but as soon as I started reading I was like what kind of book is this, there are some really nasty parts, and the book is overly descriptive of all the events so for me it was like too overwhelming I couldn't wait to finish reading... and I was one of the 2 people that successfully finished reading the book so when the exam came, I had to tell the story a thousand times to all of my classmates who didn't red the book, so the images keep appearing in my head... I didn't like that book not my style at all...
i hate books about emo people.
i couldn't stand reading A SOLITARY BLUE in 6th grade. HOMECOMING wasn't much better (although it did have the kids talking about how joggers boobs jiggle, but that just shows how messed up the series is)
If you're going to mention those two books, rayzoredge, I'm going to throw in my two cents and mention Fahrenheit 451 as well (which is what Equilibrium is based on to a large extent). That books is another creation that features a largely dystopian (or is that un-utopian?) world where reading of all sorts has been banned. The main character, a firestarter as he is known, is charged with the responsibility of burning books as his profession. Eventually, he comes to recognize his ways once a friendly neighborhood female girl wakes him up to the joys of life through conversation and such, but that's getting far into the plot and I wouldn't want to ruin it for anybody...
Anyways, it's worth a mention and is definitely another book that is well-worth reading. Not a very large one, so anybody can appreciate it really. I'm not certain, but I think it may just be required reading in some schools, but I don't know. I read it on my own, and I enjoyed it.
