Books are known to inspire or inform, but some are just plain weird! These 5 bizarre books will leave you shocked, confused, or wildly entertained.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

A horror novel where text formatting itself becomes terrifying—rotated pages, upside-down paragraphs, and chaotic footnotes! 

3

The Voynich Manuscript 

A horror novel where text formatting itself becomes terrifying—rotated pages, upside-down paragraphs, and chaotic footnotes! 

4

Gadsby by Ernest Vincent Wright 

A 50,000-word novel written entirely without using the letter ‘E’. It’s a true linguistic challenge and totally bizarre to read aloud.

Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer
