I didn't get what the huge deal was. Maybe I just read it with the wrong mindset.

Fuck yeah Vonnegut! I love how his characters don't pander to me, they aren't overwhelmingly sympathetic or nice or even good, they are so well constructed and complex and funny, at times sad. Just read this and I wish there were a whole fucking side story or novel on the character or Marilee Kemp.

That whole food porno thing in Braekfast of Champions was the best. Now when people eat, I watch them very closely.

BoC. Always.

CC 2nd. Galapagos and Sirens of Titan are underrated.

>> No.1516344

I liked Slaughterhouse Five and Sirens of Titan the most

Yeah, that or Bluebeard, which I think doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I've only started reading Vonnegut. Started with BoC and am half way through Slaughterhouse-5, and so far I think BoC was a much better book.
