Bizarrism: Strange Lives, Cults, Celebrated Lunacy

By Chris Mikul

"I am going because I would have no peace if I stayed." So said Donald Crowhurst as he set sail on what should have been a single-handed, non-stop, round-the-world boat voyage. In the middle of the Sargasso Sea, however, his boat falling to pieces, he had a brain-frying idea'¦ When Chris Mikul first heard this curious tale, it inspired him to begin collating information and writing about other strange lives, eccentrics, and "beacons of shining if erratic brilliance in a world of sensible conformity". Bizarrism is the result.

A pleasant book about unbalanced people

This book covers lots of nice little stories about true believers of unbelievable things. It covers everything from hollow earth enthusiasts to people who question the germ theory of disease and people with sex behaviors and beliefs so goofy you'll wind up feeling REALLY secure and happy with your own personal life. It's a great book for the guest bathroom, since each chapter is short and breezy. Lots of fun re-reading it, too. If you like reading about cults and cult-like beliefs, you'll like this book.
