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.

Pynchon. Surreal, paranoid, extremely zany and hazy. Start with Inherent Vice or Lot 49.

You're the second person to suggest Pynchon. Sounds like I really need to check them out.
