What's /lit/'s opinion on Slaughterhouse-Five or this man in general?

What would be a good book to start from?

Kurt Vonnegut appreciation thread? Feeling a bit down now that I've basically read virtually ALL of his works, and obviously, he can't write more post-humously..

Deal with it

Just wondering how /lit/ feels about the nature of this "obituary". Need to write a short analysis of it for my Media class.

I'd love a conservative perspective of this too, because I'm writing the analysis from a fairly liberal perspective; I feel it's a really biased and disrespectful reportage, but I can't just say that throughout the entire paper (seems too obvious)

Can anyone remind me again why I should believe people who praise this boring idiot?

Wanting to start on some Vonnegut, which book should I start with?

What does /lit/ think of Mr. Vonnegut?
He's one of my favorite authors.

What's so great about Kurt Vonnegut?

Just read Slaughterhouse-5. Load of shit.

Problem, officer?

Alright, I would like some assistance, /lit/.

For my English assignment there must be an outline provided for the notes that you take on your subject (which in my case would be Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.)

I need to think of some subjects to include on the outline: birth, childhood, education, death, etc.

Any ideas for some subjects to put on my cards? Help appreciated.

Free press is one thing. But this shit is also quite aptly called "treason". Which happens to be punishable by the death penalty.
I say try the man for treason.

Vonnegut is quickly becoming my favorite author. Just read Slaughterhouse-Five, was my first Vonnegut book. A fantastic one, too. Reading The Sirens of Titan now. Any suggestions on what I should read when I'm done with it? Also your opinions on him and shit.

Ever been reading a book, and work out a soundtrack to it in your head? I just noticed I do this to almost everything I read.

Recently, it was Cat's Cradle. I kept humming Tom Waits songs.

What makes a great writer?

recently finished Galapagos by Vonnegut, now i am starting a Vonnegut thread

show the love/hate

I am in dire need of a book that will change my life. I'm fairly well-read, but I will take any suggestions at this point. I'm desperate.

Ideas?

Best sci-fi writers of all time.

If you make a claim, back it up with a specific work or theme that makes them superior.

Go.
