I have liked all of Vonnegut's. Some of his more recent I don't feel
works as well.  I loved 'God Bless You Mr. Rosewater' and  'Mother
Night.'  They are not science fiction but have strong moral points.
Except for one or two short stories everything else of his I've read
is science fiction although you will not find him in the science
fiction section of the library.
