I don't know if I would consider anything Stephen King writes as good horror. He cranks books out pretty frequently, so you can kind of tell that he's not spending so much time on the story as he is just pulling shit out of his ass. I really like Vonnegut, but Slaughterhouse Five is not his best book. I would recommend Sirens of Titan or Breakfast of Champions.
You should really read Don Quixote if you haven't already. There's a lot that's wordy bullshit that you can thumb through, but it still holds it's own after all these centuries.
Also, since you're reading Douglas Adams, you should pick up A Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.
I hardly find time to read books anymore. I think I have a shelf full that I'm either halfway through, or just a chapter away from finishing. I've read so many bad endings, that I think at some point I decided if I don't finish it, then it won't disappoint me.
