What are some good books that aren't structured linearly? they don't have to specifically be considered postmodern, i'm just looking for books that present their plot in a non-traditional/experimental way. for me these are some of the more captivating types of books to read because their unpredictability keeps me continuously wondering about what could happen next, which is a rare feeling when you have an attention span that's only very slightly longer than that of a small rodent. i don't even mind if the novel is sort of gimmicky (house of leaves) in going about the deconstruction of traditional literature, so long as the author is doing something that's truly unconventional.

Try Brautigan, his novels are often chronologically linear but so acid-scattered that they come off otherwise while remaining cohesive. In Watermelon Sugar especially.

Most of the great works of Faulkner are at least somewhat like this. Particularly:
The Sound and the Fury
Absalom, Absalom!
