Plus by Joseph McElroy is quite unlike anything I've read. The novel follows the process of being born again human for a man that was turned into a robot. The book opens with him achieving sentience, and follows a stream of consciousness style of writing but in the third person. The protagonist, Interplanetary Monitoring Platform Plus, or Imp Plus for short, goes through the motions of becoming human and re-experiencing memories and such. However, being a robot he doesn't quite understand some of the things he's seeing, so it's up to the reader to get what Imp Plus is describing.

It's very unique, and very "postmodern" for lack of a better term to use, but not in the same sense as Pynchon or Vonnegut is. If you want something that's original and mentally taxing, check it out.
