Although, not Sci-Fi (I never really thought of Vonnegut as Sci-Fi), a new favourite of mine is Tom Robbins. He's close to Vonnegut, but a little more complex, sorta.
I have read
skinny legs and all by Robins, it was funny and interesting, but though it's been few years, i remember that he speaks of sex a lot and his writing is "sensual", and though he mentions the patriarchal bloodthirsty "god" instituting itself over the Goddess worship, the temple of solomon, the Israeili/Palestinian conflict, he seems to be twisting facts. After i found the cass material, i found him suspicious. I don't understand what Mysteries you talk about Azur, when you say "It becomes obvious when you read them, that Tom underlies a lot of the text with some concepts from the Mysteries." But i haven't read the books you mention, nor do i have any knowledge on "mysteries". To me it read like a more "intelligent" new agey book.
