I don't know whats more astonishing, the fact that you're one of the few people Iv'e ever met, besides myself, that have read that book or that you're re-reading it as I was just thinking about doing.

Slapstick - Kurt Vonnegut
So far I'm a little let down. It hardly compares to anything else he's written.
Favorites are Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-5, naturally.

Since when does horror have to be melodramatic? But apparently I've read all but two of his worst books so I dunno. I've read: Carrie, The Tommyknockers, Salem's Lot, Gerald's Game and the first Dark Tower.

No I haven't, but I'm sort of on a Vonnegut binge right now so I'll be sure to get to it. I just finished Amageddon In Retrospect; pretty good but as far as his collections of short stories go, I prefer Bagombo Snuff Box.
