Vonnegut?

Any good? I keep hearing about Slaughterhouse Five, but I'm not usually interested in stuff about war.

Interestingly, I think it's one of his weakest books, though it seems to have become his most famous one for some reason.

Anyway. There's a substantial thread on Vonnegut already here. (You can search for existing threads using the Search function above)

Okay thanks.

...I'm not usually interested in stuff about war.

The book isn't full of battle scenes. It's more about absurdity and trauma. A lot of it takes place after the war.

I re-read it recently, inspired by a discussion on this site, and found it more compellingly written than I had remembered.
