Once upon a time, I was staying at a friend's house; her dad was something of an amateur military historian - two rooms full of wall-to-wall bookcases on military history, some SciFi, and all kinds of other stuff. Not much light reading.

Stoned and bored, I picked one off the shelf at random (Mother Night). I'm not sure how I missed Vonnegut's name on the cover, but I mistook it for one of his legitimate history books and read it cover-to-cover in one sitting. Woah, we definitely never learned about this in school!
