The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, still one of my all-time favorite reads. A beautiful, crazy dream/nightmare story about the absurdity of human existence.
The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is also way up there. I might place his other work, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, slightly ahead of it.

Nice list, I should give The Master and Margarita another try. I've bounced off it twice now, even though it seems like something I'd like.
I'm a huge Italo Calvino fan and I love The Master and Margarita. Maybe look for a different translation?
