ANYTHING by Vonnegut is pretty mind blowing. Sirens of Titan was my personal favorite Vonnegut book. It's beautiful the whole way through, and had an even deeper impact on myself than Slaughterhouse Five. I even named my cat Malachi Constant after the main character.

Fantastic! I was thinking about picking up another Vonnegut but wasn't sure where to start. Now I do - thanks for the recommendation!

They are all pretty good. Cat's Cradle and Breakfast of Champions are another couple good ones to pick up if you enjoy Sirens of Titan. :)
