Guess the book I'm halfway through.

    Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.

aka So it goes. First Vonnegut for me.

Slaughterhouse-Five -- but I cheated. That could be the only Vonnegut I haven't read.

Then I suppose the only thing for you is to read it. It's actually the only Vonnegut I have read (so far), but I highly recommend it.

Galapagos has to be next.

Breakfast of Champions is a must, and Sirens of Titan. God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater is delightfully strange also... Maybe you should read that first. Vonnegut liked to re-use his characters. Sometimes harshly. I think the only book I haven't read of his is Cat's Cradle, and that was because I traded it out at a USO.
