God is dead by Ron Currie. God inhabits the body of a human who is subsequently killed, which also kills god. Dogs eat his/her corpse and become super-intelligent, and society begins to dissolve as god's death becomes known. It's a short novel but a total mindfuck.
I just told you to read House of Leaves elsewhere. But I have a much better suggestion that I bet you haven't heard of.
Check out Everything Matters by Ron Currie, Jr. It's his first true novel, he has a collection of tangentially related short stories called God is Dead, which was also fantastic, but I digress. The basic setup is what would you do if you, and only you, knew from the instance that you were conceived, the exact time and date at which the world will end 36 years into the future.
It's fantastic, I loved it, bought all my relatives copies, and they loved it too.
God is Dead, anyone?
Check out Ron Currie, Jr. specifically his books Everything Matters! and God Is Dead, I haven't read his latest book Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles yet but I'm looking forward to it.
"God is Dead" is an awesome book.

[Everything Matters] (http://www.amazon.com/Everything-Matters-Ron-Currie-Jr/dp/0143117513/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=) by Ron Currie Jr., God is Dead is also a terrific and depressing read.
