9: The Sirens of Titan, by Kurt Vonnegut.
Our second favorite sci-fi author when it comes to wit. Vonnegut’s cutting sense of humor is uniquely entertaining, as well as his own take on finding the Question to Everything, and even providing us with an answer. An amusing exploration of the concept of free will, its nature, and how many of the characters have been effectively stripped of it, along with the discovery that humanity has been the plaything of aliens, for an entirely inane purpose. Ridiculously tragic and dramatically whimsical.
