doubled_mystic Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I know I can't be the only Vonegut fan around here. My favorite books he has written to date would be Slapstick (perhaps the best satire and dark humor I have ever read) Cat's Cradle, and Man Without a Country, which is some of the best random commentary ever written.

Slime Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I've only read Slaughterhouse Five, but I loved that book so much that I'd seek out more stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled_mystic Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Slaughterhouse 5 might be one of the most haunting books I have ever read.....the fear and dread Vonegut conveyed, along with the gallows humor, it's just an amazing book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Slaughterhouse 5 is rightly considered a classic. I would recommend it to anyone. However, I've never really got around Vonnegut yet, the only other book of his I've read is Galapogas which is another bizarre one but worth it.

H. P. L. Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Slaughterhouse 5 is my favourite. I love all the Kilgore Trout stuff mostly. Cat's Cradle also is very very good. My only disappointment so far has been one of his firts, Mechanical Piano (hope I got the title right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled_mystic Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 yeah, that one took me a couple of attempts to get through, and even when I finally did get to the end I was like that's it? not very good, but then it was his first book, so I'll let it slide. Besides which his next was Sirens of Titan, and that was just hillarious and amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've read 6 or 7 of his books. My favorite so far is Hocus Pocus. It is underrated, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberon Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I've read Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, Slapstick, The Sirens of Titan, God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, and Mother Night. Loved them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
