This was the book that got me completely into Vonnegut. It's a relatively easy read and keeps you at the edge of your seat. If you like it I recommend you to read more of his work! All of his books have re-occurring characters, themes, and settings that really immerses you into his world.

kurt vonnegut specifically! i had read sirens of titan and cat's cradle, and just finally finished slaughterhouse five and its really one of the best pieces of media i've ever consumed. he writes in a way that makes even surreal or science fiction novels feel like a direct portrait of his own mind and the human mind in general; vonnegut's life, thoughts, feelings, and conscious bleed onto his pages in a way i don't believe any other artist really comes close to. an author i would recommend to truly anybody!

The short story King. He began his career writing short stories for magazines while he worked as a copywriter at GM. He hated this job and used some themes from GM that he found to create satirical short stories. Many of them are quite dystopian and science fiction, which I don't normally like but there's a way Kurt Vonnegut writes that makes certain stories that wouldn't otherwise interest me totally enthralling. He's funny, satirical, provocative, and relatable in a lot of ways.
Go read it! Vonnegut isn't an author you've never heard of, but this is definitely something worth reading.

Feels so magical stepping into one of these. Possible cure for seasonal depression.
