1. The Magic Mountain (although it's a light critique of a naive protagonist), plenty of modernist works

2. Many 4th-wall breaking, XX century experimental novels probably none of them is real "good" though

3. Infinite Jest (DFW hints numerous times that the narrator is simply more intelligent than the readers)

Nietzsche attacks his reader in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, first by attacking "the readers" (as a class or species) in the first part, then again in the 3rd part he writes about "Zarathustras monkey", basically someone who copies Zarathustras way of speaking (by obviously, having read the book) and who emulates him to appear more deep and interesting.

Ever heard of Diary of Phil the Nerd? That's better for you. The second book haves a scene where the author literally uses the book to ask George Lucas to get back the rights for Star Wars from Disney and make a remake of Episode VII where Han Solo doesn't die.
