Best Kurt Vonnegut Books?

Kilgore__Trout

Hi,

I realise the high subjective nature of the question, but I'm wondering is there anything great I've missed out on. Really enjoyed Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse 5, and Sirens of Titan, and enjoyed Mother Night.

Felt underwhelmed by Breakfast of Champions, and it was a slog to get through Thank You, Mr Rosewater(Think that was the name) & Galapagos. Gave up on Hocus Pocus. Any other recommendations?

Gave up on "Hocus Pocus" myself. Have a short story collection "Bagomo Snuff Box", not great either. Sorry for lack of recommendations.

Cats Cradle is the best in my opinion (one of my personal favorite books too)

Yeah, Breakfast of Champions is a little.... fluffy, few laughs but it was the weakest of the novels I've read.

I can't recommend anything because I've only read the novels you've listed. I would be interested in recommendations myself though.

Yeah, I'm with you on both counts. Humour at ever turn, and something to say about science and religion.

He actually rated his own books... here's a link. Can't say I'd agree with all of them, but maybe Jailbird or Piano player might be worth a look.

I enjoyed Bluebeard. An old abstract expressionist writing about his past and present.
