Which Kurt Vonnegut is your favourite?
Cat's Cradle is my favorite, but I've only read a few. I also liked some of the stories in Welcome to the Monkey House. Out of curiosity, is this list in order of preference?
Yes it's sorted, and it's strangely convenient how I have read exactly ten KV novels. I didn't care for Breakfast of Champions much.
Cat's Cradle is my favorite, but I've read pretty much all of them, and would do so again.
Mother Night is my favorite; When I finished reading it for the first time, I flipped back to the start of the book and started reading from the beginning again. (I know some people do this habitually, but for me it's a one-time thing.)
Next would come Breakfast of Champions, and then a three-way tie between Cat's Cradle, Player Piano, and Slaughterhouse Five.
After that, who knows. I do like Bluebeard a bit. I guess Sirens of Titan is better though.
