Cry 'Mayhem!' and let slip the dogs of Wardlow.
Really enjoyed this. Second Vonnegut, after reading Cat's Cradle last year. I feel pretty similarly about this as I did Cat's Cradle, which is to say it was fantastic. Kind of ashamed to have not read any Vonnegut earlier in my life. Definitely good at having really poignant moments counterbalanced by absurdity and nihilism. Something about his simple writing style really underlines those poignant moments.

I've kind of been unconsciously sidestepping reading Slaughterhouse 5 for most of my life, for whatever reason.

Not necessarily a recommendation for next month, but Mother Night inspired me to finally read Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt and it's good so far.
