Kurt Vonnegut does it for me. His ability to balance humour and humanity is sublime.

I love Irvine Welsh but think his early books were much better than recent. I read his latest Crime recently and was pretty good but not a patch on Trainspotting, Porno etc. I also love chick lit but struggle to find a good laugh out loud read these days. Any suggestions? :roll:
