A librarian in Austin told me my book reviews were 'spoiling the mystery of bad endings' and it flipped how I read
I used to write off any book with a messy ending as just bad writing, until a librarian at the Austin Central Library pointed out I was missing the fun. She said weird endings are often the point, not a flaw, and gave me The Crying of Lot 49 as an example. Now I keep a list of 14 books where the ending made no sense at all, and I rate them on how long the confusion stuck with me. What is the strangest ending you have run into that you still cannot explain?

Why call confusing endings good when they just feel lazy?
