What about a "modern" classic? (I love that phrase: only a marketer to say it with a straight face.) Anything by, but why not start near the beginning of his career, Kurt Vonnegut Jr's
The Sirens of Titan. Happily, copies may be found on your bookshelf already, in the attic, in the basement, at a second hand store, at the library, at the e-library or as a relatively inexpensive ebook in ePub or Kindle.

And there's more at the Vonnegut bibliography

What a great excuse to renew an acquaintance with his writing. So nominated.
