And also Eco's _Foucault's Pendulum_, at the risk of offending Rishab. :) I started that book at least 3 times before giving up for good.
But the most amazingly opaque thing I have ever read is Guattari's _Molecular Revolution_, which turned a string of purportedly English words into completely incomprehensible ciphertext. As a crypto manqué, I can only applaud.
I got rid of the book as soon as I decently could, byt gifting it to Herr Doktor Kelty - on the reasoning that he ought to be immune to its effects by now [1].
