| 2. Slaughterhouse-Five: A Novel | 
|
By: Kurt Vonnegut Publisher: Dial Press Trade Paperback January 12, 1999
I picked this book up for fun one day at my bookstore job. It looked interesting & throughout my life, this was one of Vonnegut's books that everyone's crowed about. I just wish I'd liked it as much as they did.
Since there's dozens upon dozens of reviews on here that give the plot synopsis, I won't bother rehashing it here & just give you my opinions.
I liked the... more

| 6. Breakfast of Champions: A Novel | 
|
By: Kurt Vonnegut Publisher: Dial Press Trade Paperback May 11, 1999
Breakfast of Champions is not Kurt Vonnegut's best work, but it still has one enviable trait, and that is the unmistaken Vonnegut voice. Mr. Vonnegut has one of the most unique voices in American literature and he uses it to full effect here. Although I rarely agree with his political and religious views, I still return to him because he writes in one of the most conversational tones I have ever come... more

| 8. A Fire Upon The Deep (Zones of Thought) | 
|
By: Vernor Vinge Publisher: Tor Science Fiction February 15, 1993
This is grand scale science fiction. Vast concepts and well fleshed out societies. This book is one of my all time favorite books along with Neuromancer and Dune. The concepts are interesting, thought provoking, and yet it is mixed with likable characters with enough humanity added to them to help us empathize with them... more

| 10. Welcome to the Monkey House: Stories | 
|
By: Kurt Vonnegut Publisher: Dial Press Trade Paperback September 08, 1998
There's an economy to Vonnegut's writing that is a wonder to behold. His ability to go off in unexpected directions and his amazing talent for finding humor where there should be none is just as apparent in his short stories as it is in his novels. WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE collects a number of early works from the 50's and 60's and the book abounds with gems. Standouts like "Who Am I This Time?"... more
