I'll nominate Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami

From Amazon:

Spoiler:

In this hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive novel, Japan’s most popular (and controversial) fiction writer hurtles into the consciousness of the West. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World draws readers into a narrative particle accelerator in which a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is simultaneously cooler than zero and unaffectedly affecting, a hilariously funny and deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.

I lent it to my mom to read. She said it was weird and didn't like it. I'm thinking that makes it even more intriguing.

I am not even sure I understand the blurb but it sounds interesting and I have been meaning to try Murakami. I will second this.
