I enjoyed Slaughterhouse Five too, as much as BoC I think. Vonnegut is funny, but the way he describes the realities of war (and PTSD?) is quite gripping and devastating I think.
I got a copy of a play by Racine with a translation next to the original French and I was happily surprised that I could read it with the translation's help (also is French grammar just richer than English grammar? It seems like English needs a lot of dead weight to say things for which there is a more elegant grammatical construction in French). So now I want to try reading some French, if jadis or anyone else has recommendations for easy books that'd be cool
