Hocus Pocus, one of the few books that actually made me laugh out loud. All his stuff is funny that one just struck a chord with me.

I liked Slaughterhouse 5, Cat's Cradle, Galapagos, and Breakfast of Champions.

I can't figure out which is my favorite though.

Thornton Melon: [on the phone] ... and *another* thing, Vonnegut! I'm gonna stop payment on the check!
[Kurt tells him off]
Thornton Melon: frick me? Hey, Kurt, can you read lips, *frick you*! Next time I'll call Robert Ludlum!

You don't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut.

He probably just picked Jailbird because it was Rory Gilmore's favorite Vonnegut novel.

Ahh, haven't seen that in forever.

I think Cat's Cradle was my favorite. That was the crazy one with the Calypso music and Bokonon, right?

I've read +/- 5 Vonnegut novels, which is hardly exhaustive, but I really liked Bluebeard.
