Which of their books could I start with? Breakfast of Champions is my favorite Vonnegut book and East of Eden is my favorite Steinbeck book. I especially love the drama of East of Eden.
I have tried Cormac McCarthy and I was not a fan of his writing style.

Have you read Norman Mailer? The Executioner’s Song is fantastic.
Anthony Burgess
Have you read Little, Big by John Crowley?
Faulkner? The Sound and the Fury or As I Lay Dying. His stuff is a bit darker but good
Hemingway is great, start with the sun also rises
Cormac McCarthy
Joseph Heller?
Chabon – The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay reminded me a lot of Steinbeck’s style, and what a fun book!
Hemingway
Sanora Babb. Wrote a book called Whose Names Are Unknown before Grapes of Wrath with a similar setting in the Dust Bowl but Steinbeck’s was published because he was a known entity. She also has some fantastic memoirs and short fiction.
