Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
I read the entire book in one long sitting. Carroll wrote both this book, and the sequel Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, specifically for a girl named Alice that Carroll actually knew in real life. Of course, in real life, Carroll was not Carroll, but Charles Dodgson. Another warp of reality there. If you saw the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, then you already have a good idea of the story. Small differences arise because the film also borrowed from the sequel. For example, Tweedledee and Tweedledum are originally from the sequel. Several poem parodies throughout the book that are fun, even if you don't know the originals (I didn't, except for one). If you want more facts and analysis, check out Wikipedia. If you want to know if it is worth your time, I say yes.
Feast your squid eyes on the pages of Alice's Adventures: it is a fun read, and not terribly long.
