I agree with Stacy26 based on your list you'd like Thompson or Kerouac. I'd toss in a Elmore Leonard book maybe Mr Paradise (Get Shorty is more famous but it and it's sequel were made into movies.) I'd also recommend Galapagos by Vonnegut since you liked Cat's Cradle. I also like Wouk's Caine Mutiny.
My favs are To Kill a Mockingbird, Cat's Cradle, Treasure Island, Old Man and the Sea.

Have you heard of "The Secret" & "The Law Of Attraction"? These are currently bestselling books. What type do you like? Do go for romance, action, thriller, etc.? My motto on books is "If I see it, I'll know it." I usually want to read first the title of the book. If I like how it sounds then I'm going to consider buying it. Right now my favorites are the Buffy & Charmed series books. Try reading The Pilgrimage. Your choice.

Since you have a taste for the darker books on occasion, you migh try "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami, "The World According to Garp" by John Irving, "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, "Fall to your Knees" by Ann-Marie MacDonald (contains a lesbian relationship), "The Man in my Basement" by Walter Mosely or "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy.
