I don't usually read fiction, but a professor recommended Stephen Leacock (a Canadian humourist) to me based on my writing style. I particularly enjoyed this story:

The Man in Asbestos

"There isn't any work. It's finished. The last of it was done centuries ago... In fact, just as soon as man turned its energy to decreasing its needs instead of increasing its desires, the whole thing was easy."
