O my.... I've been a literature student and them a teacher for the same so you can assume that I've come across most (or all) of them. Kurt is definitely one big name but TBH he is still not given a place in academia here. I remember I've read some of his short stories and I've one of his books gifted to me but I've never read.
I'll bring that out tommorow.
Cat's Cradle is my favorite work of his, but he has many great ones.

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I've been gifted The Sirens of Titan. I'll see if I can find his other books at the local booksellers. Or, I'll have to get them online or from New Delhi when I visit there next.

Sirens of Titan is another great one. Definitely in my top 3.

I really need to restart reading, I feel like I'm losing my vocab and grip on English in general. It's been a break from books and literature since Covid erupted. My previous job was an administrative one that made me lazier and uninterested in reading.

does reading feel like effort?
No it doesn't. It never did. It was just that I've been away from some good English Literature. Been reading Newspapers, some odd magazine or like that. Most of the times, those have been in my native language.
If you read in the comments, I was particularly talking about English which isn't my native language.
I started reading again, once I finished grad school. It's been very refreshing.

I feel like I've done enough of rest after working and only working for about 25 years since I was 9 years old. Now the comfort itself has started to feel like boredom. I want something more than refreshing because...
How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
