Thought I'd list some of my own favorites

[sarillia]

I love Italo Calvino, especially If on a winter's night a traveler. It alternates between 2nd person where "you" are trying to read a book and excerpts of other books you come across while you search for this book.

Vladimir Nabokov had a weird one called Invitation to a Beheading that kind of makes me think of Kafka's The Trial if it was set in Wonderland.

Speaking of which, I love Kafka too. I think I've read all of his available work.

I also like Kobo Abe. Sometimes I just enjoy reading the summaries that come with them. Like the one for Kangaroo Notebook that starts "The narrator of Kangaroo Notebook wakes on morning to discover that his legs are growing radish sprouts, an ailment that repulses his doctor but provides the patient with the unusual ability to snack on himself."

Kazuo Ishiguro has one I read that was very subtley strange called The Unconsoled. It was almost like the main character had lost his memory but it wasn't really addressed. The book would introduce a character as though he had never met them before and then it would turn out that it was his girlfriend or something. Had kind of a dreamlike feel.

I bought the book Hygiene and the Assassin by Amelie Nothomb purely for the title and it got kind of weird, as I expected. A woman goes to interview a writer who turns out to be a terrible person and he reveals some disturbing secrets about his past.

Jose Saramago has some interesting premises too. I love Death With Interruptions, where death decides to stop killing people.
