Okay, first of all, check out http://www.langmaker.com  Jeffery Henning
has already got a site going with a rather large list of movies, books,
etc. that have conlangs in them.

Second, _Pale Fire_ by Nabakov.  The whole book centers around an epic
poem written about a country that may, or may not, exist in a language
that may, or may not, be real, by someone claiming to be royalty of said
country.  I haven't actually read it, yet, but it's in my "pile o' books".

Cheers!
Jim
