Next Vonnegut Book

I’ve read a couple Kurt Vonnegut books since he died. He doesn’t mess around. I like that. He’s got a healthy and honest sense of humour that I appreciate. I started off with Slaughterhouse Five. It’s laugh-out-loud funny. It’s thoughtful and insightful. It’s entertaining. I thought about the novel long after I put it down. I then moved on to Deadeye Dick. It has a similar style with a story that jumps all over the place. The narrative isn’t focused or well-plotted. It’s fun to read in places, but I’m not sure of the point of it all. Still, not too bad.

So what Vonnegut book should I read next?
