As a teen I had read Cat's Cradle and was discussing it with a teacher who told me that if liked that book I'd love Slaughterhouse Five. Not sure how that one got by me, but after reading it I went on a spree gobbling up all the Vonnegut books I could find. Loved that man's "warped" sense of humor.
My favorite WWII book of all time though (just edging out Slaughterhouse) is Catch-22.. It's so effective at capturing the complete horror and dark comedy of war. Put it on your book bucket list if you've not already read it.
