I've got this list of writers that just write exactly as I like to read, it's that nice symmetry or something, it's a personal thing and I guess everyone probably has their own in some form or another. Welcome to my list Mr. Vonnegut. I can't believe its taken me this long to read anything by him.
How's The Quake treating you?

Finished 'Cat's Cradle' (eleventy one!!!11 I can't stress how much I love this book) and have moved on to this;

The OTHER, David Gutherson

I'm about 60 pages into it, haven't fully made up my mind on it yet but its beautifully written. I haven't quite had enough time to care about the characters enough yet though, which 60 pages in is usually a problem for me, but I shall refrain from making a judgement.

Introduced me to a few writers I want to read immediately.

I started JM Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians yesterday.
Not quite into it yet. I only have 2 or 3 of his books to read before I've done the lot and a rewarding enterprise it was, if you like serious books about serious ideas, as they appear to men in particular.
