A couple that occur to me:
Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco
Finnegan's Wake - James Joyce

that's funny. I was thinking about Foucault's pendulum myself, except I didn't technically read it - not more than the first couple of chapters anyway, just couldn't get through it. And I did so enjoy the Name of the Rose

Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto EcoI'm on page 50. I think you have freed me from the necessity of continuing.

I just started that book and I was hoping it would get better. I guess not!

Finnegan's Wake - James JoyceANYthing by James Joyce. I think his whole purpose was to write convoluted sentences.
That said, lawyers often, intentionally, write convoluted contracts; and those might even try Joyce.

Foucault's Pendulum is one of my favorites. It is lucid, well written and clear compared to "The French Lieutenant's Woman".....

Will have to disagree with you on Foucault's Pendulum
That was one of my favorite reads of all time. Enough that I went and bought several other books Umberto Eco wrote...

Foucault's PendulumAbsolutely right on. This book makes no sense.
