Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut


After reading The Time Traveller's Wife, which is essentially Slaughterhouse 5 for chicks, I thought that next, I should reread the actual Slaughterhouse 5. I've read it four or five times, but you really can't read this book too much. There really isn't much I can say about this book that hasn't already been said except that it's one of those rare acclaimed books that really as good as you've always heard it was. One of the things that makes Vonnegut so unique is that he may be the only fatalist I can think of who is just so damn cheerful.
