I can't help you with horror, but Kurt Vonnegut is consistently the funniest author I've read.

It's like 110 pages, and goes in directions I wasn't expecting from the premise. Good stuff.

I too fell off reading after college; I can't tell you how to feel, and you shouldn't do it out of a sense of obligation. But for me, I've been really glad I got back into the habit.

Zero, actually.

I highly recommend A Perfect Spy by Le Carre. I think it's his masterpiece.

Very carefully. No, I don't know, it's a process of like, looking into books online, seeing what's available at stores... I also try to keep a variety, so I'll avoid reading consecutive books from the same time period, for example.

1 or less, most days. I get a little time during my lunch break at work, and try to add another chapter or so when I'm back home. My pace has been about 30 pages a day.
