I've only just read Cat's Cradle... I've seen the movie for Slaughterhouse-Five. I'll probably read Breakfast of Champions in the next year or two. |

I've never heard of him before |

I've never read any Vonnegut... am I missing anything? |

Never read any. |
| kirst | | posted 13-Apr-2007 7:33pm |
I believe the only one that I've read is "Slaughterhouse-Five". |

None of these, I don't think. I read a lot of books, though, so it's possible I've read something by him and it just didn't leave a big impact. |

Just Breakfast of Champions. I wasn't a big fan but I didn't try very hard either. |

Never read any. I might say I had never heard of him but it is possible that I have but forgot. |

Slaughterhouse Five sounds familiar. |

I've never read anything by him. From what I hear, I don't think I'll ever be picking up anything written by him. Nothing personal just doesn't seem like something that would interest me. But then again, I swore I'll never read anything by Maeve Binchy and I picked her book just because it was the first book in the row that I haven't read. But I don't need to worry about Vonnegut, I don't have anything of his. |

He's one of my very favourite authors. I didn't even know he was dead until just now, although I can't say I'm surprised. He wasn't a young man. 84...
From the options, I've read:
Player Piano
The Sirens of Titan
Mother Night
Cat's Cradle
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
Slaughterhouse-Five
Breakfast of Champions
Slapstick
Deadeye Dick
Galápagos
Timequake
In addition to the options listed, I've read the following short story collections:
Canary in a Cathouse
Welcome to the Monkey House
Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons
Palm Sunday
Bagombo Snuff Box
and the following plays:
Happy Birthday, Wanda June
Between Time and Timbuktu |

I've never read any Vonnegut. Never heard of Vonnegut. Never heard of any of his works listed above.
Generally, I don't read fiction. |

Another author on my list...*sigh* It just keeps getting longer, and I never seem to make any headway. |

Cat's Cradle (Just reread it recently), Monkey-House, S-5, Breakfast, Sirens. I read one not on this list bout a year ago, but I can't recall the title. It was about Thor. At least I think it was by Vonnegut.
Cat's Cradle is a transmutation of the kaballistic tree-of-life, Ice-nine, the hungry nanotech molecule, S. King's the Langoliers, J.G. Ballard's Crystal World. In one K.V. book foreward it was said that Vonnegut's brother was an actual funded mad-scientist, attracting lightening storms and such. |

Cat's Cradle blew me away when I read it long ago. |

Slaughter House 5. Very difficult read in high school. |
