I learned the one rule of life from Kurt Vonnegut's fifth novel.

I enjoyed Rosewater a lot and I like Eliot, but Kilgore Trout and Billy Pilgrim are my ultimate Vonnegut heroes. The villians of this novel are with us, one wants to be president again. The Vonnegut quote I live by: "True terror is waking up one morning and realize that your high school class is running the country."

@@donaldkelly3983 I agree and I am excited to read Slaughterhouse Five next. I think it will be the second or third time I’ve read it but I’m looking forward to reading it again and preparing a review.

I just finished sirens of titan, watched your review on that, and you mentioned a review of this in your comments, so came to find it. Well done reviews on both books! I’m fairly new to Vonnegut, having read Breakfast of Champions, Cats Cradle, God Bless You Mr Rosewater and Sirens of Titan… saving Slaughterhouse Five for a few more books in. I have thoroughly enjoyed all his books so far, Elliot is a favourite character so far. This one is my favourite yet, though Sirens ended up right with it as that story came together. Any suggestions for a next Vonnegut book to read? At this point the plan is to read them all, in between other reads. As I mentioned, saving slaughterhouse five for a bit.

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the reviews. I read SH5 in college and have been reading the novels in order the last few years. I did read A Man Without a Country a few years ago. I think you would like that one.
