Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins is so amazing that I gave it as a gift to multiple people. Go in blind if possible.

Since no one doesn't seem to be meant literally, 13 1/2 Leben des Kapitän Blaubär (13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear). It's a very humourous and arguably pretty absurd fantasy story, one of a handful of books I've actually read twice. Unfortunately I can't really say much about the English translation but if that's decent it should be very enjoyable to read.
Momo by Michael Ende. He also wrote The Neverending Story. Where The Neverending Story is about imagination, Momo is about listening and time.
Wow. A friend of mine recently recommended that book to me. Interesting to find it mentioned here
