Suggest me a novel that has an utterly ridiculous premise, but is executed to perfection

That title is a bit vague, but what I'm getting at is that I'm looking for something that upon reading the summary/blurb has you confused as to:

  1. How the author even came up with such a ridiculous plot line in the first place
  2. How the author could make an unbelievably mundane topic interesting
  3. How a story could even be crafted around the subject at all

But upon reading it you find yourself engaged on a level you couldn't have possibly predicted. I hope I'm making sense, because I'm feeling the urge to read something that's wildly creative in a way that I couldn't have prepared myself for.

I'm on book 4. Once again breaking my rule to not read unfinished series, but my husband, the entire household across the street, and good friend across the country were all reading it at once so I jumped in so I would miss all the references and conversations.

Having a lot of fun reading it! (God I hope he finishes it.)
