House of Leaves, for sure.

As I remember it, there are at least three levels of unreliable narration. If you even try to comprehend it your head will explode.

OP again. I'm looking in to it now. My university library doesn't seem to have it but that could have something to do with the fact I live on a godforsaken island at the end of the god damn universe. So I'm scouring all the library catalogues I can. I'll read it though, promise.
