Any fans of Vonnegut here?

If so, what's your favorite novel by him?

Breakfast of Champions is my favorite. I really like Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle, too.

Slaughterhouse Five, definitely.

I went nuts in college over his books, and read a TON of them -- in the end I just got em all confused, actually. But Slaughterhouse Five definitely stands out.

I've only read Slaughterhouse Five, but it it such a classic.

I love the twist of Slaughter House Five. Its so cool because the whole novel Vonnegut builds up this complex Existential clockwork universe, BUT Then He just blows it all away, and with just one simple revelation creates something infinitely more bleak and existential.

But My favorite is Player Piano.
