[Zbu Manowar]

I'll back Slaughterhouse-Five, definitely one of his finest works.

Player Piano isn't that bad but it's before he went nuts and started writing in short paragraphs. He actually writes like a normal fucking human being and it's a bit more discreet and I find a much better read. You're allowed time to follow a narrative and the irony within, not just a bit of rambling which he did later on. Not that I mind. Mother Night is the same way except it's somewhat forgettable. The movie sucks more, the book you can't go that wrong with.

Slapstick is downright weird. Deadeye Dick isn't half bad, it's 'everything and the kitchen sink' weirdness wise. Galapagos I can't remember a damn thing about it except it was too long.

And one last thing: I started reading Vonnegut long ago with these handy Laurel editions that actually look like paperbacks. Nowadays they're putting out these 'extra large' editions that see to have larger typefaces and are twice as much as the ones I used to collect. Any reason why, besides to gouge the consumer? I mean, shit, most of Vonnegut's work post-Mother Night is large-print and fairly easy to read even to the legally blind!
