I have to agree with everyone you put on this list. Especially Vonnegut! I
spent a whole year once reading everything he had written. It was an epiphany
for me.

How about the Xanth series? The first book is A Spell for Chameleon. Some
titles are Heaven Cent, Crewel Lye (A Caustic Yarn), and Night Mare. How's
that for punny? I think that though they are somewhat juvenile they are
excellent reads. I highly recommend you read the first one and just see what
you think about the land of Xanth. If you like puns you won't be disappointed.
