If you aren't worried about the quantity of books you're getting through, and want a challenge, read The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. The closest approximation might be Jorge Luis Borges with Tolkien with a dash of Neal Stephenson and Murakami. At first I thought: I know what this is. Then I thought. Wait... something's wrong here. Then I thought. There is no way that is in the text. Can't be. This was just the point where the rollercoaster is beginning the climb. If you like complex and strange things, then this is for you.
