I HIGHLY recommend checking out Pynchon.  He has written some of the 
funniest stuff out there, his characters are hilarious, his stories are very 
engaging (they seem to promise you everything), and he writes so damn well 
it can depress you.  However, you need to read him with a bit of discipline 
because he can lose you at a moment's notice.  But it will definitely 
pay-off.  I recommend starting out with "Vineland" or "The Crying of Lot 
49", although my favorite is "V.".
