So this aside what Vonnegut books are worth reading?
>>8234428
Cat's Cradle was far and away my favorite of his
>>8234428
New reader here. I've just started reading this. What makes it come second to his other works?
Mother Night
Cat's Cradle, Sirens of Titan, and S5 are usual favorites
>>8234428
I just read Player Piano at the library the other day and definitely not that. It's one of his weaker books.
>>8234966
lol that's the last Vonnegut book I read too.
The writing itself was good, but goddamn if it isn't the most naive idealism since Huxley.
>>8234964
I'd go with Cat's Cradle. Sirens of Titan was pretty shitty imho.
>>8234974
I don't know if I'd call it naive idealism or half-baked pessimism. It somehow felt like both at the same time, which is very much like him.
>>8234989
I've read all three, and Sirens is my least favorite of the three, a lot of people like it. I thought it had weak and flat characters but a strong plot. It's also one of his early novels, and a lot of readers enjoy reading notable early works since they're more raw compared to later works.

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
>>8234428
These are his ratings. It's generally agreed that the A's and A+ are the only ones you should read but a fair few people say that their favourite is Breakfast of Champions. (I'd recommend Slapstick it's in memory of his sister)

Forgot to mention: I'm reading The Sirens of Titan currently and I think it's shit, also Mr Rosewater from God Bless You,Mr Rosewater is my favourite protagonist from any book
