Hey I love that you said that one! Vonnegut is my favorite author. I've read nearly all his books. Slaughterhouse-Five is a real gem. Have you read Cat's Cradle?

    Have you read Cat's Cradle?

I've started it twice, but each time More Pressing Matters started demanding my attention, so I've never finished it.

I understand. It's really fantastic. I think it's his best. Couldn't recommend it enough.
