Top Five Kurt Vonnegut Books

(Vonnegut himself once assigned letter grades to his own books. I come fairly close to concurring with his assessments. (I think he overrates God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater and underrates Welcome to the Monkey House.) Here are my top five, in order of preference, and with a soundtrack by Al Stewart.)

 

  1. Cat’s Cradle

  2. Slaughterhouse-Five

  3. Mother Night

  4. Welcome to the Monkey House

  5. Galápagos
