It's some dude's sexual fantasy when lying in the sand in some desert in the middle east 2K years ago

I just finished Slaughterhouse 5. Don't get the appeal at all. The writing style is great but the story. I don't know, maybe this was mind-blowing in 1969 but in 2021 I don't give a ****.

I liked Slaughterhouse Five. I think Breakfast of Champions is better though if you're into Vonnegut.

I said this to some co-workers and they recommended Cat's Cradle. I think I read "Welcome to the Monkey House" back in Middle school but had no idea wtf was going on. I guess I could try these again.

That's interesting! I had the opposite reaction: I wanted to know more about the Dresden firestorm and got irritated with Vonnegut's intrusive style getting in the way.
One conclusion we both agree on, Big3: "Don't get the appeal." That was also my reaction to that other must-read book of the 60s with a number in its title: Catch-22.

I'm probably enjoying this book because it confirms what I previously thought: how spurious conspiracy theories usually are.
Voodoo Histories begins with the First World War, which makes a bit of a dull start to the book, but it picks up as it advances through McCarthyism to JFK and the section I've just reached: the death of Lady Di.
Interesting statistic: there are "700 or so biographies of Marylin Monroe". And for us lot? Will any of us get even a single biography? I feel so depressed, I'm going to play The Staunton Lick to cheer myself up - or better still, every song so far in this thread:-
