>I havent read Timequake, but read Breakfast of Champions at least once a month! > >Some other ones that I like are Cat's Cradle (for the irreverant plot - I mean, he blasts the Holy Cow Einstein in that one), God Bless You Mr. Rosewater (parts of it), and also Player Piano (which I think is a much more "humanely realistic" version of 1984)... I read my first Vonnegut book when I was about 13 or 14, and I proceeded to read a LOT of them. I was a really big fan, and then I didn't read his books for a while because I didn't have any new ones to read. Then I read "The Sound and the Fury", and "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and Vonnegut just became a silly old man to me (except for maybe a few books like Slaughterhouse Five...) though I remember "Deadeye Dick" being something above average... the last Vonnegut book I read was "Cat's Cradle" which everyone always talked about as being one of the best (up there with Slaughterhouse) and I thought it was amazingly stupid. Bokononism was such a stupid idea.
