Perdido Street Station by China Mieville is a wonderful start, I think.
Dostoevsky might be a bit of a stretch for me, but I do know Tolkien and Hemingway.
It's more leaning towards sci-fi fantasy but consider some China Miéville; Perdido St. Station is this wild Victorian-tech-with-magic dystopian fiction (and it's the first in a trilogy).
I almost always recommend Terry Pratchett to people but I think you might not enjoy it if high fantasy is what you're after. Still, it is packed with subtext and satire of real world events, people and places.

Also, I would classify most of the stuff written by Piers Anthony as "weird".
China Miéville writes sci-fi/fantasy horror. He's phenomenal. Perdido Street Station is amazing and like nothing I've ever read before or since.
I'll just put this here...

Perdido Street Station - it seems like Mieville is a love or hate author (or maybe each book is love/hate), but I haven't seen anything with more inventiveness per page than the world he builds in this novel, which is the first of three (nonsequential) novels set in the same world. Really, he'll throw out some stuff kind of casually in a paragraph - or even a single sentence! - that makes me hunger for an entire book to explore it. Give it a shot!
Perdido Street Station. Not very much science fiction, more weird fiction. But the author China Miéville has a way with immediately immersing you into this weird alternate world with terrifying creatures and interesting people/things. I couldn't put down the book.
