my number 1 embarrassment

Someone at work today mentioned "Breakfast of Champions" and asked if I had read it.
I had to not only say no, but also that I have never read any Vonnegut.
I believe this might be my most embarrassing secret. Seriously. After I finish reading "Omnivore's Dilemma," I think I have to correct this travesty.

wait, what?! how did this happen? for shame. other vonnegut books you must read:
slapstick or lonesome no more!
slaughterhouse five
mother night
deadeye dick
hocus pocus
galapagos (which i am about to start)
don't read timequake. the only vonnegut i can't recommend. for shame really.
You're forgetting the best Vonnegut book (well, there could be an argument for Slaughterhouse Five): Cat's Cradle. I've literally made over a dozen people I know read this book, and have yet to have someone not tell me it's amazing. Probably my second favorite book of all time.
I remember reading Slaughterhouse for my final english term paper senior year in high school. I was, of course, late doing it, spent the entire day in my guidance counselor's office, skipping every class, typing the paper up on her paper. I handed it to my English teacher as she was walking out for the day. I think I got an A.
Or, in a word, 'C'mon man! Even I've read some Vonnegut!'
