^I got those too LOL.

There's a book depicting cats dyed in different colors in strange designs. I'll have to post it. I guess the dye or paint isn't harmful to them. It's a very crazy book!! !

Another great weird Carlton Mellick III book I read recently was "Ocean of Lard." (Well, okay, half of it was written by Kevin L. Donihe.)

It's a choose your own adventure book. Except for adults. You know those old Goosebumps choose your own adventure books where it would always have "THE END" in big bold letters because you'd make the wrong choice and end up chow for a purple alligator or something? Well, this is JUST like that, except the endings usually involve you getting raped by tentacles or pirates or pirates with tentacles. But it's just deserts because in the book, you play a child molester on the run from the cops. Seriously, the first line is: "You shouldn't have molested all those children."

XD

It's one of the funniest books I've ever read...

I saw a book called, "Why Cats Paint." It was very cute. One of the cats was a Lynx point Siamese that looked a lot like my Prince.

That sounds like an interesting book. As for a siamese lynx, I used to have one myself aargh, I still miss the fellow. I'll have to check that out.

Well, some people find it strange... I read through books of medieval and renaissance architecture for fun. Currently I'm reading something about Brunelleschi and his famous dome for the Florence Cathedral.

Demons of the Flesh- Zeena and Nicolas Schreck
It's about sex magick, and occultism. Not weir by my standards, it's far more accurate and historical/scientific than 99% of occult books out there. But the sole subject of occultism and sexual magick might be considered weird by some

MissConstrue,

I have been fortunate to have two Lynx points. My first was a girl named Samantha. She lived to be 20. Now I have a boy, Prince. I love Lynx points, Siamese, and all striped kitties.

The New Crusades: Constructing The Muslim Enemy edited by Michael Sells and Emran Qureshi.

It's a book on Islam that's written for other scholars in that academic field and not for the layperson. It's not one of those books that you really read for pleasure, and I had to special-order it from Amazon because it's almost impossible to find in regular bookstores (except for possibly college bookstores).

Darn, I was hoping it was fiction...I looked it up...lol.

I want to read a really awesome book that combines gothic, Lovecraftian horror with demonic sex in a historical setting.

And I've tried James Herbert's "Once." It didn't cut it.

^Cool. I guess you can't tell me b/c then the story would be ruined.

I'm now reading Irish Fairy and Folktales by W. B. Yeats. Kind of hard to understand some of the spelling but very interesting book which many would probably find strange cause I've always been interested in the stories of nature spirits such as the fairies, trolls, witches and so on. This helps describe some of their origins. They remind me a lot of the belief Native Americans had concerning spirits coming from earth.
