I've read all of Vonnegut and Palahniuk's books and I need some new reading material. I'm a big fan of "Choke" and "Breakfast of Champions (respectively). I did just start Tom Robbin's "Another Roadside Attraction" and think I'll like him. Given my particular interests, any other cool authors I'd probably like? I desparately need some new reading material.

You should definitely read Nabokov, author of Lolita and Pale Fire. Lolita had the freakish tendency to have me empathizing with a character that I would find abhorrent in real life.
Also, I've always found Thomas Pynchon to write along thematically similar lines as Vonnegut. Try the Crying of Lot 49.

...You must give "The Rosy Crucifiction" (the trilogy by Henry V. Miller)," Sexus, Nexus and Plexus" a spin, you will not be disappointed. And while you're on Tom Robbins, skip "Another Roadside Attraction" and go straight to "Still Life w/ Woodpecker" and "Jitterbug Perfume"...enjoy!

If you like Vonnegut and Palahniuk, you would probably also like Jonathan Lethem. I think he's written about eight or nine books now.
