You know I'm just going to agree with Fitlike and tell you to reach for the Vonnegut. I also enjoyed Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down. Hmmm...what else have I read recently? Hemingway, obviously, but I'm about halfway into "On The Road," too. Kerouac's great, but you know that already. I don't know, I'm never at a loss for books to read, but I always buy more than one every time I go to the book store.
Actually, I picked up this trashy-looking paperback on the boat back from the Bahamas the other week called "Transgressions." It's three novellas in a collection of novellas written by famous authors. The one I have, I picked up because it had Joyce Carol Oates in it. The first story was a pretty decent, suspenseful story about the Irish protestant-catholic conflict. The Oates story, which I'm reading now, is pretty entertaining, too. I guess the point of the series is that they're all suspenseful sort of novellas. Anyway, it's worth a read, honestly. I didn't think I would ever say that, but there I go.
