Got a favorite Kurt Vonnegut book?

Mine would be God Bless You, Dr. Kervorkian ~ but again, how to choose? :-)

God Bless You, Dr. Kervorkian... I loved that one... such adorably humorous stories...





Hehe, his dad in heaven is a kid.





I think mine has to be Sirens of Titan. While I was reading it,. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other works, the end was just one of those endings that made you completely pause and questions everything you knew to be real. After all, who whats to be told that their entire existence, the entire existence of the world around them is merely a tool to complete the journey of someone else?

Reply:I've only read Breakfast Of Champions but I thoroughly enjoyed it and want to read more. Anyone got any suggestions on where to go next?





And considering what I've read so far, Breakfast Of Champions is probably my favorite, haha.
Reply:You're right, it's a tough choice. My favorite is Player Piano. It's not well known, but the society he describes is highly plausible and I've actually met people who remind me of some of the characters.
Reply:I loved "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian", especially because it changed my mind about Vonnegut.





My very favorite is one of the older ones, and I have been surprised that even hardcore Vonnegut fans are often not aware of it: "Mother Night."





I liked it because it shows a fundamental truth about human life. As Vonnegut himself says in the introduction, "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." If more people knew that truth, the world would be a different, and I suspect better, place.
Reply:So far, Slaughterhouse-Five. I should read more of his books I think, I like him a lot.
Reply:I always really liked Breakfast of Champions (the little "illustrations"), but I'm also a big science fiction fan so it would be a tie between that and Sirens of Titan.
