Most of the books Nabokov wrote in English
David Foster Wallace (of Infinite Jest fame) if you don't know any latin languages and are scientifically illiterate
Gene Wolfe if you don't know any latin

Book of the New Sun.
Gene Wolfe makes up a lot of words in the story (it's actually supposed to be a translation, thus the made up words are ones that couldn't be translated). The made up words can get a bit frustrating, though, if you're impatient. You really can't (and shouldn't) rush through Wolfe.
Blood meridian

The Hungry Caterpillar (Albanian translation).
Finnegans Wake
Darconville's Cat is terricrepantly confusticating.
John Barth, Cormac McCarthy, Nabokov, Ronald Firbank to an extent.
