If you don't mind books about not-quite-teenagers, Frances Hardinge? A Face Like Glass is fantastic, about a cheese-maker's apprentice whose emotions are plain on her face in a society where classes are divided by how many expressions they're allowed to learn and show (for example, working class people can't learn angry or defiant expressions for fear that they will become angry or defiant). It's weird but fun! Cuckoo Song is also fun in that it's a book from the point of view of a changling as she slowly figures out she's not human or the person she thinks she is.

More on kidlit, there's Larklight by Phillip Reeve, which is a steampunky Victorian-esque boy's adventure trilogy where all the weird speculative stuff that people thought about space and space travel turned out to be true.

For stuff in the adult section, ummmm... this is harder, because I hate romance and sexy books (despite having been a fan of Lackey and McCaffrey). The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers. It's about a bibliophilic pink dinosaur who gets poisoned and tossed into an underground catacombs filled with thousands upon thousands old books and homicidal book hunters. Or The Alchemaster's Apprentice which is about a talking cat who's made a deal with an alchemist wherein the alchemist feeds and houses him for a month in exchange for the talking cat's magical fat.
