MODERATORS
It's well-known and well-studied, but also infamous as a book few people ever actually finish because it is so weird: Gravity's Rainbow.
I finished it. I'm not sure what I gained by reading it, outside of having a better understanding of what an acid trip might feel like. Very weird.
Other mainstream but weird recommendations: Mexican Gothic (highly recommend this) and A Night in the Lonesome October
Hated hated hated this book. Not to discourage others from reading it, just seconding the sentiment that it's a book few people finish.
