What was the most unusual (for you) book you ever read? Either because the book itself was completely from out in left field somewhere, or was a genre you never read, or was the only book available on a long flight… whatever? What (not counting school textbooks, though literature read for classes counts) was furthest outside your usual comfort zone/familiar territory?
And, did you like it? Did it stretch your boundaries? Did you shut it with a shudder the instant you were done? Did it make you think? Have nightmares? Kick off a new obsession?
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

No time for BTT this morning, but I wanted to invite you all to celebrate Banned Books Week at The Book Lady’s Blog
I had fun answering this. It reminded me of books I haven’t thought of in years. And a college boyfriend who really, really wanted me to read “The Man In The High Castle.”

My response is here: Unusual Ovid.
Excerpt: From the carefully chosen library of my childhood to the discreet classic works I read to the vague and subtle references of poetry… in I stepped to Ovid’s world, where sex was described in perfect clarity and discretion was the real myth. Then, of course, I got to sit and squirm through the class discussions….

Guess I’m a bit late here but here’s my post about “the most unusual book I’ve ever read.” http://bransonreads.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-was-most-unusual-for-you-book-you.html
My reply is really late, but I only discovered the website this morning!

Here’s my response: http://literaturecrazy.blogspot.com/2008/10/booking-through-thursdays.html
Lately – Chasing Diana by Jack and Robin Firestone – it is written in the Screenplay format, and is not a book I would normally pick up. I picked it up because my Mom was a huge fan of Princess Diana, and I wanted to check it out to see if I would pass it on to her. It ended up being pretty good!
I found your blog during the Bloghopping Challenge, I came from Strangely Out of Place.
I’m a newer blogger, avid reader/reviewer, wife and mommy (not to mention MBA qualified Business Consultant) – reading is my retreat! If you’ve got a book to suggest, pop by and let me know. I’d love some feedback.
Take care – I’m off to enjoy browsing the rest of your blog, and then I’ll find a link and follow it to . . . . . ?????? Check back on my blog in a day or so to see where I’ve been on my Bloghopping Challenge!
