I love Vonnegut. This is yet another of his books that I have not read. Was given to me a while ago by a good friend... this copy is rather battered and has no front cover... so special handling required :)

Cover blurb:

This long-awaited volume brings together the finest of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s shorter works. Sex, machines, pills, men, women, society, good, evil, outer space, inner space, time past, present and future, are among the subjects infused with the fascinating, fantastic and formidable Vonnegut magic. It is a funny, sad, explosive, wildly gyrating gathering, a mind-boggling grab-bag in which every selection is a winner. Better than any other book, it displays the enormous range of the author's extraordinary creative vision.

What an excellent collection of some of Vonnegut's greatest short stories! Whenever I read him, I find myself blown away, and even more so here with such a wide range of stories. From WWII to space to the distant past and far into the future.

I have been working hard on clearing out my TBR, and have been listening to a lot of audiobooks, which is how I tackled this one. Now that I've "ear-read" this, I will be sending this paper copy to my dear friend mrsordonez, who has never read Vonnegut. Just remember, I warned you... Vonnegut is addictive!

I've never read Vonnegut... if I like this, I might just pick up Slaughterhouse 5... Thanks for sharing!
