One book I'd really reccommend is the Life of Pi by Jan Martel, quite possibly the most bizarre and best novel I've ever read.

I also love Kingdoms of the Wall by Robert Silverberg.

But my all time favourite novel is probably Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan, the first of the Gormenghast trilogy of books.

Completely fantastical and utterly utterly brilliant. He went crazy in the end but nobody has ever had a more poetic and creative use of the English language as him.
