Books that use a lot of similes/metaphors?

I'm really more into the poetic side of literature and while I love a good story, I love when someone compares two things I would never think of. My favorite author being John Fante, here's a quote:

And then he shuddered as you do when cold metal touches your flank, and he was suddenly remembering the many times he had got into the warm bed beside Maria, and the tiny cold cross on her rosary touched his flesh on winter nights like a tittering little serpent, and how he withdrew quickly to an even colder part of the bed, and then he though of the bedroom, of the house that was not paid for, of the white wife endlessly waiting for passion, and he could not endure it, and straightway in his fury he plunged into deeper snow off the sidewalk, letting his anger fight it out with the snow. Dio cane. Dio cane.
