Just Finished:
Vile Bodies (1930), by Evelyn Waugh
Funny book that goes from hilarity to sweetness to sorrow to pitch black despair, all in under 200 pages. It's like a super condensed Hitchhiker's Guide series (without the sci-fi trappings), at least tonally. If that sounds appealing to you, give it a shot.
Follow that up with the same author's The Loved One. That's what I did the first time I read Evelyn Waugh, It is gloriously tasteless and wonderfully written!
