Hi everyone! So, I am a HUGE fan of Kurt Vonnegut and have read all of his books. My favorites are A Man Without a Country, Cat’s Cradle, Mother Night, and, of course, Slaughterhouse-Five! I’m looking for books similar to his: easy to read with a touch of humor, and powerful themes. Does anyone know of any similar titles?
Also, this isn’t Vonnegut, but I’m super fond of The Kite Runner, The Book Thief, East of Eden, and White Oleander. Books similar to those would be appreciated as well.
Need some books to add to my 2026 TBR!

Have you read any Pratchett?
Discworld has loads of humour, while tackling powerful themes from novel to novel (gender, sexuality, free will, the industrial revolution).
It’s much more fantastical and wacky than Vonnegut, but I can see some similarities for sure – Terry and Kurt were both incredibly intelligent, empathetic and witty men.
