Adams is vastly underrated... Many (I'm not one of them) would consider him inferior to the others listed...

I think not. Sure -- those are good writers but . . . .
Is Hemmingway from our time? Because if you want to include the 1920s-1950s I'd have to point you to Somerset Maugham or Aldous Huxley instead.
As for Vonnegut, I'd choose others from his period. Kinglsey Amis might be one choice. Robertson Davies would be another.
Douglas Adams is certainly a fun writer -- but the best writers now would have to include people like Kazuo Ishiguru and Martin Amis (Kingsley's son) is another.

If you like those guys, you might also enjoy Tom Robbins. I'm kind of getting over Palahniuk, the whole shock value wears off after a while...

You're leaving out so many, particularly women. Marguerite Yourcenar, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler. But guys too, like Jose Saramago, Oe (forgot his first name), Jorge Luis Borges. And can we add poetry? Neruda, if only one.
