    Yay for Kurt Vonnegut! I am new to this forum but will join in. I have two autographed 1st edition copies of Timequake sitting next to my bed.

    He is by far my favorite writer of this century, though maybe not for one single book, but rather the body of his work. I felt a great loss when he died - like the funny, wise grandfather I never had passed away.

    ^^ I think you need at least 50 posts to be able to vote.

    I went for The Sirens of Titan, but I'll likely read regardless. All three books sound pretty good, so there's no bad choice for me. Breakfast of Champions sounds intersting too.

    I'll have to pass on these, I've read them all before. I think they are all quite good, and hope you like whichever is chosen.

    I think I will skip the poll, I will read whatever you chose. I haven't read Vonnegut's books, so I will wait and see which one will be the first
