Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $6.94 This may be Vonnegut's funniest and most imaginative novel, and also one of his most profound.
|
 | The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $6.95 One of Vonnegut's earliest works and one of his best. Biting satire that reduces the self importantance of humanity to a mundane task. Brilliant.
|
 | Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $5.00 Vonnegut's most unconventional novel (and that's saying something). Contains some of Vonnegut's most quotable work.
|
 | Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut

|
 | Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut

|
 | Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $7.55 A parable about the difference between appearance and reality. Not as absurdly funny as some of Vonnegut's other novels, but one of his most profound.
|
 | Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.79 Not much of a plot to Vonnegut's final novel, but he doesn't need one. Without a plot to worry about, Vonnegut is free offer his musings on everything from evolution, to the arts, to family, to the US Constitution, to Abraham Lincoln, John Dillanger, Earnest Hemmingway, and so on.
|
 | Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $6.24 Vonnegut's debut novel is his most conventional. Unlike his other novels, Player Piano tells its story in a linier fashion. There are hints of Vonnegut's sardonic wit, wild imagination, and unconventional writing style here, but only hints
|
 | Galapagos (Delta Fiction) by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $7.25 A love the notion of this novel, that human beings have become smarter than we need to be, and our brains become smaller through evolution. All in all though, this is a lesser Vonnegut novel.
|
 | God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $7.13 One of Vonnegut's earlier novels featuring themes that will become familiar - in this case, the nature of capitalism and the distribution of wealth.
|
 | Slapstick: Or Lonesome No More! by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $3.98 Fans typically rate this novel much higher than I do. Not one of my favorites.
|
 | Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $7.18 A bit of a disapointing follow up to Breakfast of Champions. A found it a little sluggish and void of a lot of the sardonic wit attributed to the best of Vonnegut.
|
 | Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut
Vonnegut's weakest effort. That said, a weak Vonnegut novel is still better than most.

Listmania!
