I'll second PALE FIRE. An absolute brainsmasher of a book, which leaves you of very little idea of what is and is not reality, and yet not only enjoyable but also hilarious.
Wiki said:The book has some superficial affinities with Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, but Mathews is at once easier to read (he is frequently quite funny) and harder to pin down; the reader, like the narrator, is never sure to what extent he has fallen victim to a hoax.
