msc 18,487 Posted April 11, 2017 Vonnegut had a wonderfully mean-spirited FOX obituary: This pissed off a lot of folk I know at the time, but hey, when I saw it, I thought: man, they really hate this guy. I need to read his stuff NOW! And, it's great. So it goes! Slaughterhouse Five is the standout, but Timequake, Man without a Country, etc, all recommended. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
