I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I’m looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

    It’s probably a bet more comedic than the authors you listed, but Douglas Adams is quite absurd, surreal and incredibly funny. Particularly the “trilogy in five parts”; The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

        I suspect that also means you’ve already read it…

        In that case I would also recommend Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. It’s a fantasy setting, but still with plenty of absurdities, but it isn’t very surreal. Like Adams, Pratchett has a lot of humor, and the books are just a lot of fun. There’s a very nice graphic on the Wikipedia page which shows how all the books relate.
