I also love Vonnegut's work. Slapstick was one of the entertaining but (to me) slighter ones. But as with all his books, there were some great bits in there. For me, the greatest ones are (no particular order) Sirens of Titan, Galapagos and Bluebeard. I really like Sirens of Titan because I love old pulp SF, and I love what he does with the genre. (I love Philip K. Dick and AE Van Vogt for the same reason.)
The recent short story collection Bagombo Snuff Box had a couple of nice pieces in it, but some was not that good, understandable since it was previously uncollected stuff. Some of that stuff was uncollected for a reason.
