I started with Slaughterhouse 5, of course, then Cat's Cradle, then Breakfast of Champions. I'll admit that I didn't finish BoC - maybe my sense of humor is too jaded, but the non-stop satirizing became a bit dull for me.

I got his collection of short stories, Welcome to the Monkey House, which I highly recommend. They're a sort of a hybrid between Bradbury and Kafka.

My high school library had a copy of Mein Kampf. I skimmed through it a bit. The index is somewhat sickly amusing.
Continual disappointment is the spice of life.
