The movie version of Breakfast of Champions is bad in a really hilarious and awesome way.

Hahahahaha they made a movie of that? Why the fuck would you even try?
ImRonBurgundy?:
It's even worse than you think. Bruce Willis had the lead role.
I've only read Slaughterhouse-Five at this point, but I have several more of his books lined up on my reading list.
Paav:
Breakfast of Champions,Gallapagos, Slaughter House 5 are all great. Bluebeard has one of the greatest conversation starting lines ever, "How did your parents die?" However, my favorite is Cat's Cradle.
I find that after I read Vonnegut I have to reset my brain, otherwise I think every author I read is being cynical and sarcastic.
StMonkey:
But that lingering feeling is the best part! Especially switching from Vonnegut to historical non-fiction.
Paav:
Totally, I once read two Vonnegut books, Cat's Cradle and Bluebeard, in a row then went on to read Michener's Texas. Man that was a trip, it might also be why I seem to have an irrational fear of and hatred for that whole state.
