Of Vonnegut, I've read Slaughterhouse 5, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Mother Night, Welcome to the Monkey-House and God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian. His other works are on my TBR list.

As much as people big up S5, I wasn't all that impressed. Will need to read Cat's Cradle again, because again, wasn't struck on it. Mother Night and Breakfast of Champions are good and his short stories in WTTM-H, notably, All The King's Horses, Harrison Bergeron, Who Am I This Time, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and The Euphio Question are brilliant.
I loved Monkey-House (Who Am I this Time was probably my favourite), Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse 5. I really enjoyed Rosewater and have Galapagos, Mother Night and Player Piano on my potential reading list. I would say ignore Hocus Pocus. I found it tedious, but maybe I've read enough Vonnegut now.
