The lack of Vonnegut (only SH5 made it) on that Time List is the best proof of the list's inadequacy.
You can't put one Vonnegut book on such a list. All of his books are part of one larger goofy narrative. You could read half of one, put it down and then read half of another and probably still feel like you'd read a cohesive work. I've read them all and still mix up all the scenes and characters.
