Born November, 11, 1922, Kurt Vonnegut would have been 92 today. I’ve probably posted more often about him than any other writer on this blog. Partly because he’s from my home town, partly because I participate in a book club that meets at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library, but mostly because he’s just … awesome. Looking back, and in no particular order, here are a few of my favorites…
The Manned Missiles (short story) from 2012
Player Piano (novel) from 2011
Deer in the Works (short story) from 2010
Jailbird (novel) from 2010
Hocus Pocus (novel) from 2012
Basic Training (novella) from 2013
Kurt Vonnegut Letters (letters) from 2012
Bagombo Snuff Box (short story collection) from 2012
Timequake (novel) from 2012
Cat’s Cradle (novel) from 2011
The Lie (short story) from 2010
EPICAC (short story) from 2010

I only read Slaughterhouse-Five this spring, but I’m looking forward to reading more. Mother Night is on my bookshelf somewhere…

Mother Night is great. His short story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House is also a great place to start. Enjoy. 🙂

I thought Breakfast of Champions was brilliant. I like Mother Night, also. I don’t want Bagombo Snuff Box to end, so I still haven’t finished it.

I’ve felt that way about a lot of story collections, Vonnegut’s included.
