Hmm if you have any half price books in your area you can often find some paper backs for very cheap. I hate when I finally have a book I am dead set on finding, and it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. That happens with me and American Psycho once. Glad you enjoyed the review! Stop by again!<br /><br />@ Jenners. Your right that would fit in perfectly!! I'd start with Mother Night though. It is a nice ease into his sense of humor/way of writing.The Great Catsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-4249789416143411682009-09-09T11:38:59.083-04:002009-09-09T11:38:59.083-04:00Now I'm going to have to read Vonnegut more .....Now I'm going to have to read Vonnegut more ... perfect name for an A to Z challenge I must say.

He's made it onto my list of books to get, but of course, now i can't find any in the stores I haunt! Kind of like i'm looking for Henry V to see and suddenly it's not airing anywhere either. Life! I do like how you write that Vonnegut uses alot of black humour, I can definitely relate to that.

Took a 22 hour grey hound to New York and busted the whole thing out. Then saw the original pages laid out in the New York Public Library. Changed my entire experience with the novel. Wouldn't have wanted to read it any other way.<br /><br />I will be sure to check out those stories and follow your advice. I really believe that literature is best read in a somewhat similar surrounding to the characters (as long as it isn't the moon baha). Just gets you so much more into the imagery and the mindset.The Great Catsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-87068751266042694782009-08-29T00:55:36.601-04:002009-08-29T00:55:36.601-04:00I felt the same way about Murakami.

I advise taking lots of public transport, and just sitting and reading while you go - Kafka on the Shore and Dance Dance Dance are my favourites.DSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535908226479922492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-39289932703333447422009-08-29T00:05:26.797-04:002009-08-29T00:05:26.797-04:00Yea I am kind of appaled at the lack of Vonnegut I...Yea I am kind of appaled at the lack of Vonnegut I have read. I really am trying to pace myself though, otherwise I would read all of them I could find and nothing else for some time.
