I'm reading Bluebeard right now and this thing is fucking masterful. Also recently read Sirens of Titan. What do y'all think of Vonnegut?

The following is a true story. I walked into a bookstore and picked up Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" after seeing /lit/ rave about it. I opened the book to a random page and was met with a paragraph introducing a "black dishwasher" who "had a penis nine inches long and two inches in diameter."

Shan't be reading this Vonnegut fellow.

Post a literary quote, other anons give examples of it's revelance to their lives.

Starting with one I suspect is bullshit.

>We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Hey /lit/, I need your recommendations for this guy. I'm recovering from the incredible boredom that was Brothers Karamazov and need something at least somewhat interesting.

I haven't been here in a while. I think the general consensus here used to be that Vonnegut is unreadable middlebrow trash. Is that true, or is that just something we say for fear of sounding like hipsters on r/books?

Holy fuck Vonnegut is insufferable. I've read Slaughterhouse, Cat's Cradle, and Bergeron and I hated every single one. Does he have anything worthwhile in his bibliography?

Actual genius with great commentary on society or a simple author people give too much credit and respect to?
