I just finished reading this book and imo it was my favorite work of his, surpassing Slaughterhouse-5 and his other more well known books, why isn’t this one discussed with the greats? I thought the book was devilishly hilarious and an excellent satire, balancing the tone in a way I’ve never seen handled. If you haven’t read it, give it a try, it crams so much content in a fairly short book. Definitely instantly became one of my favorites of all time.

    I’ve read 3 Vonnegut books. I didn’t like Slaughterhouse-5 as much as I thought I would, but that’s probably mostly to do with it being hyped up an incredible amount before I read it. I adored Cat’s Cradle, easily my favorite of the three I read. I also read Mother Night and liked it a lot. I started and got about half way through Breakfast of Champions, which was recommended to me as one of my friends’ favorite books, but I didn’t get into it as easily as Cat’s Cradle or Mother Night.
