I've just discovered Vonnegut. I found Cat's Cradle in a box of computer manuels I got from a friend of mine. It is absolutly amazing. I hav't been able to pt it down. Is Welcome To the Monkey House Good? I've head a lot about it.

well welcome to the mokey house is a collection of short stories most of which are are science fiction themed. If you like cats cradle though i would suggest reading his novels like slaughterhouse five and hocus pocus

If heard a lot about Slaughter House Five, a couple of my English teachers recommended it to me, and plan on reading it after I'm done with Cat's Cradle.

highly recommended;
Sirens of Titan and Mother Night.
Vonnegut was one of douglas Adam's favoutire authors and if you read the former you'll see the influence for HHGTG

I'd suggest you at least look through welcome to the monkey house, it has harrison bergeron, one of his most famous short stories. I would also recommend Bluebeard, Galapagos, Deadeye Dick, and Slaughterhouse 5, those are my favorites.

Today I picked up 'Breakfast of Champions' at a flea-market in town - & quickly devoured the first 20 pages on the bus home. Although it was written in 1973 it is cool 
and fresh as the morning milk. Great humour, great insight and pertinent.
