I think I may have metioned this on one of these threads, but The Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake is very interesting - very surreal, lots of elaborate description. It was writen in the 40s I believe. I've only read the first one. The rise and fall of the mightly castle Gormenghast and its inhabitants and its dysfunctional royal family. Sort of odd but addictive in way. There was a recent adaptation of it on British TV that starred (I think?) Bill Boyd. They showed it on PBS in the States.
