I highly recommend The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut - little read compares to his other books but fantastic Sci Fi IMO.

- staticautomatic 8y agoI've read most of his books and think The Sirens of Titan is arguably the best.
- yesenadam 8y agoI love that (well, and Breakfast of Champions) so much I could never get into his other novels much, because they're not them. Sirens was the first novel that I really connected with. I've read it so many times. "It flung them like stones." Ha, come to think of it, I was in a band called The Ghosts of Saturn, my brother was in one called CSI (ChronoSynclastic Infundibulum).. Isn't there supposed to be a movie coming out soon? Once years ago I was in a 2nd hand bookshop in Sydney, and could hear a few staff members chatting excitedly in a back room. They were laughing over plot-points in Sirens! I listened for a long while, without revealing my presence. It was glorious. :-) It just occurred to me to recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it the movie Gentlemen Broncos. I hadn't associated that and Sirens before, but there are many similarities. It's totally sci-fi, totally hilarious, and has a kind of Vonnegutian sugar-coated melancholy too. 5 stars!
