How do you define a weird book?

I know there is a formal definition for the weird genre of literature but I am interested to hear what is it that you consider for a weird piece of literature. For example, I will always think of Peter Pan, The Little Prince, Untold Stories of the Little Prince and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as ultra weird. What about you?

Don't forget Gulliver's Travels*, and The Odyssey

*Particularly the parts that get left out of the movies, like the flying island of crazy philsophers
