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.

Hitchhikers Guide is a classic!
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.
Admittedly, I have not read Discworld yet. Thank you for the reminder, adding to my list as we speak.
