A Tree Grows in Brooklyn has both shy and peculiar characters. And I haven't read the whole book yet but Pug Hill by Alison Pace has a semi-shy and peculiar main character. And it seems to be a pretty good book so far.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
This is the most wonderful book. The main character is very perculiar and shy. It is a kind of murder mystery told by the very strange 15 year old Christopher. Christopher is mathemaically gifted but socially hopeless. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
This book is one of a kind!

The "Star Doc" series by S L Viehl has lots of shy and peculiar characters -- of course the series is Science Fiction

There was a book and I don't remember the character's first name but he was an artist maybe Johnny Shriek- maybe Anthony Shriek now that I think about it... I think I will post that as a ? and see what I get. The book is great, though. I'll let you know if I find out for sure.

Depends on what you're into, but Tom Holt is a mummy's boy, and always writes flawed characters, but his male leads are usually quite pathetically awkward and painfully uncomfortable in their own skin. He usually writes stronger female characters (as I said Mummy's boy)
The thing is he writes fantasy books. Not strait laced, and not boring Dragon rubbish, he usually takes the mick out of myths, so you may think the stories are too nerdy.

My favorite book, Watership Down by Richard Adams has a major character, a rabbit, named Fiver. He is a small, strange rabbit who often gets visions and premonitions.
