Cat’s Cradle has been my favorite book of all time since I found it in high school.

I liked the "Mother Night" movie with Nick Nolte. I'll have to finally get around to reading the book this year.

My favorite Vonnegut was Bluebeard.

That and Deadeye Dick are the two outside his big, famous works (Slaughterhouse 5 and Cat’s Cradle being the big two, followed probably by Breakfast of Champions) that I like best. Bluebeard in particular manages to cover most of the themes and ideas from the rest of his books all in one, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better than the rest but does make it interesting.

I read Galapagos and it was freaking awful. One of the worst books I've ever read.

I am a huge Vonnegut fan and just read Galápagos last month. It wasn’t one of his best, but I still really enjoyed it.
Part of my enjoyment of Vonnegut comes from his writing style. I just love how he writes, no matter the story.
Find the time to read Vonnegut.
