    "Story of the Eye" by Georges Bataille does a great job for sure.

  • 'The Third Policeman' by Flann O'Brien - no real way of explaining this without ruining it completely so, if you want, you can get a synopsis online or read the blurb. Either way, thoroughly recommended as a piece of mindfuck comedy...

    'If On a Winter's Night A Traveler' by Italo Calvino - You walk into a book store and by 'If on a Winter's Night...', you like it, but there's a problem, a misprint means that half the book is missing and you have to get another copy, only problem is the next copy you buy is a misprint with the same title but a different story...

    'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami - Slow burning, but progressively more and more fucked up. Think of a slower Inception. Set in the suburbs of Tokyo. Without explosions but, instead, prostitutes, 2nd world war veterans and suicide victims...

    'Marabou Stork Nightmares' by Irvine Welsh - First person narrative told by a criminal in a coma. Hours of fun.

    'Sophie's World' by Jostein Gaarder - A young Norwegian girl accidentally stumbles upon a short history of philosophy under the tutelage of an eccentric professor, with increasingly more and more interesting results

    'The New York Trilogy' by Paul Auster - Three unique tales which take the detective and crime-noir genre of fiction and turn them completely upside down.

    'In my youth' Father William replied to his son,
    'I feared it might injure the brain;
    But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
    Why, I do it again and again.'

  • Slaughterhouse Five and Invisible Man are good. Not quite sure upon the status of Invisible Man's mindfuck status though.

  • Froth on the Daydream by Boria Vian (original french title is L'Écume des jours).
    A young french boheme marries a girl but during their honeymoon a water lily grows in her lung. Because the protagonist spends all his gold on healing his wife their apartment grows more and more little and dirty. Also there is Jean-Sol Partre, a pun on Satre, who writes a lot of books about excrements and other ugly things and an eel that likes toothpaste.

    The dream descends to the region of the moon!
