The movie adaptation is quite famous and very good, but the book is great, too. I do love myself some surrealism, and this is more or less the only book i've reviewed delivering on that.

A man gets trapped in a pit of sand, together with a woman living in that pit. We follow him as his thoughts spiral into all sorts of strange delusions, and he tries to escape time and time again. Totally unique and a fascinating take on routine, on accepting (or resisting) the deck of cards dealt, on finding the right attitude to keep on living. As fun finding your own interpretation of it as it is to follow the actual story.
