I just like the crazy nonsense world, are there any other books that can take me back?

Maybe Wind in the Willows? Not as surreal as Alice, but it's a children's classic from the same era. Roald Dahl has a lot of good books for children and adults. Neil Gaiman's a good idea too, and Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. You might also like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It's about magicians in a kind of alternate-history Regency England. I thought Alice Through the Needle's Eye was not that great; I wouldn't spend any serious amount of time or money trying to get a copy.

You better try Harry Potter Books series (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
an awesome wizardary & witch craft world having main character Harry & supporting characters Hermione & Ron.
Nice magical good to read with interesting events that took place in whole exciting series.
I think you'll enjoy readingthe whole HP series.

the chronicles of narnia should be your number one choice if your looking for a book that takes you to a different world.
