I felt it with Carlos Ruiz Zaphon's 'The Shadow of the Wind'. I was so surprised by the ending I wanted to re-read it so I could see if there were any clues I'd missed earlier on

I have the same problem being a student, I find it hard to keep track of the books I have in my accommodation and my house, but my general rule is : my favourite books on my bookshelf at home, books I haven't read yet I just stand up on my cupboard, books I don't want to throw away but probably won't read any time soon (like childrens books) in boxes under my bed, books for studying I either leave on my bookshelf at uni or if I need to bring them home I try to keep them in the bag I brought them home in and for any other books I use the top of my wardrobe as a sort of big shelf

If you enjoyed the boy in the striped pyjamas I'd definitely recommend The Book Theif by Markus Zusak.

You could try Angela Carters 'The Bloody Chamber', it definitely is quite disturbing and weird and contains quite a few taboo topics. It's a series of short stories that give a very different view on the traditional fairy tale.
