Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut
This book takes a few moments to acknowledge that Breakfast of Champions is a trademark of the cereal company. It them spends a lot of time on the ruminations of a dirty old mind. Kilgore Trout appears as do aliens. The idiosyncrasies of what people think is important or offensive all come in to play as Vonnegut tries to push people's buttons. There is a plot here about a car dealer that believes Trout's science fiction is true. However, it feels like the plot is just a vehicle for different bits of satire and observations.
