Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.. Also wrote Player Piano; Slaughterhouse 5; Cat's Cradle; Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons and dozens of other good fiction-as-philosophy reads.

Slaughterhouse 5 was an interesting read. Not very influential in any way.

I think it was in that book that...

Christ really was a bum
Planes flew backwards
Character was a leg man and not a breast man
Sweetest thing in life is revenge

Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged (still in the middle of it). In case anyone doesn't know, her first name is pronounced "Ein" as in "Einstein".

2kturkey, have you read Atlas Shrugged? My friend that suggested it to me said I should read Fountainhead first, but I didn't feel like it.
