>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 18:15:44 2010 No.1222708 I love me some Cat's Cradle, bro

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 18:19:44 2010 No.1222717 Cat's Cradle is one of my favourite Vonnegut books, though it wasn't one of my early reads. Personally, Sirens of Titan is way better.

>>	TQM - "2" !aresgodofwar22 Wed Oct 20 19:49:44 2010 No.1222979 I enjoyed Sirens of Titan and Breakfast of Champions more, but that's not to say that Cat's Cradle is a bad book.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:02:44 2010 No.1223024 his best book was bluebeard, deal with it bitches

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:05:44 2010 No.1223034 >>1223024 dude, having read them all, i totally agree... so i'm dealing with this nicely. :)

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:12:44 2010 No.1223050 >>1223024 >>1223034 I've read ALMOST all of them, and Bluebeard is the one I own that I've yet to sit down and read. I guess I should get on that, eh?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:21:44 2010 No.1223062 haven't read either bluebeard or cat's cradle but so far my favorites are mother night and breakfast of champions

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:34:44 2010 No.1223083 bluebeard blows. cat's cradle and slaughterhouse five are his best, no doubt. galapagos also blows.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:34:44 2010 No.1223084 >>1223083 ah yes, and breakfast of champions is also high quality.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 20:59:44 2010 No.1223161 they're all the same

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 20 21:43:44 2010 No.1223302 Slaughterhouse 5 is my personal favorite, but Cat's Cradle is pretty good. Without that ending though, it would have just been mediocre. The ending made it for me. His short fiction is also phenomenal.
