What are the craziest, most experimental science fiction novels out there?

Over at Jeff VanderMeer's Ecstatic Days blog, VanderMeer asked his readers to name the "craziest or most experimental" science fiction novels of all time — and the answers are pretty diverse and fascinating. If you've been feeling the need for more novels along the lines of Dhalgren or House of Leaves, you could do worse than sifting through the lengthy comment thread on VanderMeer's post. There's a pretty great reading list in the making over there. [Ecstatic Days]
