This was a really good book. I think this is also the only Vonnegut book that I’ve read that doesn’t have any scifi elements, unless I’m forgetting something.



#19. Wampeters, Foma, & Granfalloons 8 months ago

Another collection of mostly speeches, reviews and other articles. There was one interesting speech of non-fiction, plus a review of one of Hunter Thompson’s books, which was interesting as I’m big fans of both of theirs. It also shed some insight into the transition from his early career through gaining his fame.



#18. Armageddon in Retrospect 9 months ago

According to the list I’ve been following on Lists of Bests, I have seven books left.



#17. Happy Birthday, Wanda June 9 months ago

I’m 68% done now.



#16. Palm Sunday 9 months ago

This book taught me a lot about Kurt Vonnegut’s life.



#15 God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian 14 months ago

Short and sweet, but made some good points. I thought it was interesting that most if not all of the introduction is contained in A Man Without A Country.



#14 A Man Without A Country 14 months ago

I liked this book. It was interesting to see his perspectives on the modern era. This book is about my lifetime, rather than about stuff that happened before I was born, so that made it more interesting.



#13 Welcome to the Monkey House 18 months ago

It’s always difficult reading a book of short stories. It starts so quickly, then begins to drag on. It was good, though. The last few stories were definitely some of the stronger ones in the book, so it ended on an up note.



#12 God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater 18 months ago

I don’t remember what the 11th Vonnegut book I read was, but this is my twelfth.



#10 of 24 Deadeye Dick 22 months ago

I just finished reading this one. It brought back a lot of Breakfast of Champions.
