what a guy. and by that i mean what a piece of shit who could write reasonably well and was funny as fuck and like 5'2" and super angry and annoying. he's literally like a fictional character like it's crazy that he was a real guy. fly at medium altitude harlan<3

I first read Dangerous Laughter, one of his short story collections back in college. It have thought of it often since but only recently picked up a couple more of his short story collections. he might be the best to ever do it. Every time I read a story of his I am like yup, this is it, this is writing. The absolute pinnacle of the form. he is my alpha and omega. you will never ever regret reading a story of his (unless you have shitty taste in literature)

Vonnegut is my favorite writer and I've been looking for similar stuff.
Catch-22 gets a lot of SH5 comparisons for a good reason. Similar themes and really funny.
Pynchon is a great postmodern writer, though more challenging than Vonnegut - maybe try Crying Of Lot 49.
Palahniuk is a more contemporary writer and a lot darker, but extremely good and has some fantastic prose. Fight Club is worth the hype. He was recommended to me by a fellow Vonnegut fan as the closest thing.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas is also amazing.
Have fun!

The short story King. He began his career writing short stories for magazines while he worked as a copywriter at GM. He hated this job and used some themes from GM that he found to create satirical short stories. Many of them are quite dystopian and science fiction, which I don't normally like but there's a way Kurt Vonnegut writes that makes certain stories that wouldn't otherwise interest me totally enthralling. He's funny, satirical, provocative, and relatable in a lot of ways.
Go read it! Vonnegut isn't an author you've never heard of, but this is definitely something worth reading.
