Ender's Game is pretty great. Limesparks, could you possibly be more specific? I'm not familiar with any of those names you listed or their best works, but I'm interested. I can do some work on my own, but I need first names at least.

george saunders
he has a couple short story collections that are just phenomenal. lots of sad/absurd magic realism and black humor. he'd probably be my first recommendation for you if you've never read him. pynchon basically came out of hiding to write the blurb for this book so u really cant go wrong

donald antrim
the hundred brothers
jesus christ i wish i could read this book for the first time again. a hundred brothers together in one room for an insane violent family reunion. clever chaotic hilarity.

i think i heard about this from a DFW interview, its experimental fiction, short segments of an interior monologue from a woman who may be insane or may be the last person alive on earth. really beautiful and heartbreaking

im reading "another day in the frontal lobe" right now about a female brain surgeon. pretty good so far... talks about the fraternity of surgeons, their tools, interesting cases. all that stuff.

The whole series is really good. The 3rd and 4th books are a little hard to slog through but the "Shadow" books more than make up for it.
