Liked the guy a lot, but aside from Cat's Cradle, all I read of his were essays and the odd short story, and some interviews. Still had to love him, though. Shame he's gone.

You should read more of his books they all tie together real nicely. At a bare minimum read "Sirens of Titan" and "Slaughterhouse Five".

Cats Cradle as well... but really read them all. Well worth it...

One of the titans of twentieth-century literature, and one of the 10 greatest authors the United States has ever produced. I have every single one of his books, and what better time than now to reread them all? A sad day for all who ever came across the work if this cynical, humorous, sometimes caustic, but yet always gentle and profound man. RIP Kurt. I love your books, and I'll miss you.

Vonnegut was the nuts, and absolutely wrecked his Daily Show appearance. Peace out.

On the subject of Vonnegut art, my Stars avatar is the drawing of his bunghole from Breakfast of Champions. He was a crotchety old dude, but he was entertaining as hell, and I'm bummed out that he's dead.
