Having never (remembered) reading any Vonnegut books. Any recommendations from any of you?

Cat\'s Cradle is a must read

Slapstick an Breakfast of Champions are also good.

everyone knows him from slaughterhouse 5, but cats cradle is just as good if not better.

I\'ve only read slapstick, cats and slaughter. Really need to hit the library and get the rest of his collection down. Master of sarcasim.

I just finished The Sirens of Titan, and it was an epic masterpiece. definately one of his more science fiction kinda books but really good. Breakfast of Champs was the first one i ever read so i have a special place in my heart for that one. It is pretty humorous. Cat\'s Cradle might just be my favorite.

My mother is actually having her students read Slaughterhouse 5 right now. I think it\'s the most un-Vonnegut book. Still very good but different for him.

I always thought he was known more for Cat\'s Cradle, maybe it\'s just cause that\'s what I know him for.
