One of the best books I've ever read has to be A Prayer for Owen Meaney
by John Irving. For some reason it strikes me as very Belle&Sebastian,
there is a certain magic to it and a poetry that is enough to bring one
to tears on occasion. It's a bit longish but well worth it. For
something a might more disturbing (and consequently less B&S) try Geek
Love by Katherine Dunne. Very strange story but a good read nonetheless.

I have to say Geek Love is one of my favorite books of all time! I would 
also recommend The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks or Perfume by Patrick Suskind 
for those who like strange.
