Oh, you should. It's so wonderful and sad and lovely. I'm currently reading her (relatively) new novel The Mermaid Chair, but I don't find it as compelling as The Secret Life of Bees. She still amazes me though - her prose always manages to take my breath away.
Hocus Pocus is the only one of Vonnegut's books I've read so far, during one of my many breaks from Home. (Can't read and write at the same time.) I have Breakfast of Champions and Bluebeard sitting in my to-read pile but have yet to sit down with either of them. Which is a shame because I adored Hocus Pocus so much. Slowly but surely, I guess.
