Not sure if I know something similar, but here are some Books I would recommend: 
  
for some heavy reading :  
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski 
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace 
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson 
  
Less Heavy: 
The Wind Up Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi 
Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart 
  
Light Reads: 
Bite Me by Christopher Moore 
Dresden Files Books by Jim Butcher 
Culture books by Ian M Banks 
  
thats what i got off the top of my head. I tend to read a lot too, so hit me up if you want more suggestions!  
  
and from the style of the book you described above (havent read it), look for a short story called Flowers to Algernon. Similar style i think. But its a very well known short story, so I think you know it
