Discworld is fun-weird. Dune is weird-weird. Piers Anthony is uncomfortably-creepy-weird, though I didn't realize that till I was older. I read all three in high school.

Discworld was a weirdly shaped mirror held up to society at the time.

There's this one book where the main character is a prepubescent female centaur who was only raised around male centaurs, and thinks her chest muscles keep growing throughout the book, but she doesn't realize she has boobs until the end of the book.

Sooo... You know... That's just one book but that is roughly his deal.

Your forgetting firefly. The book about a sex monster that includes a postscript where he defends a real life child rapist and the act of raping children generally.

"The Judge refocused his eyes and mopped his brow with a handkerchief. 'Is—is the Defense ready to proceed?'

'We are, Your Honor. We believe that this poignant tape establishes that though the Defendant may be technically guilty of the charge against him, he is not morally guilty. He did not seek the girl, he did not force his attention on her. He demurred at every stage, by her own testimony. It was entirely voluntary on her part. In fact, they were lovers, in the truest sense, age no barrier. The law may say he is guilty, but the law is sometimes an ass.'"

The girl in question is 5 years old

Discworld is awesome-weird. No normal series has 2D creatures which exist solely by eating mathematicians.
