Infinite Jest
Okay, way back in the 1990s I slogged through this book, and parts definitely are rewarding - but I'll be darned if I can tell you what it's about. I later read Gravity's Rainbow, and often felt the same way about that text, although Infinite Jest was much more dense, much more convoluted and bizarre.
According to this article, the book is getting a re-release. Hopefully the book gets a wider audience - if only to get a glimpse of an incredible mind behind it.
