Vonnegut

Yesterday I finished reading "The Sirens of Titan." I have to say that Vonnegut is easily my favorite fiction writer. If you've read any of his novels, you know that he dabbles in the absurd... This book is no different, it strikes a hillarious balance of absurd black comedy and philsophical/sociological balance. If you haven't picked up any of his stuff, do so immediately. I've read "Cat's Cradle" at least three times.

Any of the following are amusing:

Cat's Cradle
Sirens of Titan
Thank You Mr. Rosewater

I have yet to read Slaugterhouse Five, or Breakfast of Champions...
