And of course, the satire. Most people I know IRL* can't stand satire, whereas I (obviously) love it.

i dont know if you've read any Vonnegut but i think you might like his work.

I've been interested in his work, but was never really exposed to it. It wasn't taught to me in school, and no one I've ever known (in real life) has ever read his work. What would you recommend?
