If you can find it, Gooberz by Linda Goodman is a pretty wild read. It's a poetic semi-autobiography with an overarching theme of love and grief.

It's also printed in a fairly bold style in the original hardback.

I can't think of anything I've read that stands out as much in terms of never having run across anything quite like it. People just don't write 1000+ page stories in rhymed meter for one thing. Doing so with a blend of autobiography and fiction, weaving in bits of mysticism and philosophy (rather woowoo in that regard, the author was a professional astrologer, but don't let that sour you on the book itself) and managing to tell a heart wrenching story.

Is it something everyone will like? Absolutely not. I did. I recently acquired a first edition of it and plan a re-read soon (the book is fucking thick though, so it isn't a casual read with my arthritis nowadays). It weren't cheap, though also not beyond my reach either, so I obviously think it worth the effort of wrestling my attention span for.

I do, however, suggest that one get a digital version and just look up pictures of the printed version lol.
