I don't know. I've always found Vonnegut to be trite, unfunny, and just not a good writer. I never got why he was considered so great. Give me Douglas Adams

I never got why he was considered so great.
Give me Douglas Adams over Vonnegut any day. Adams is the real Satarist to the Galaxy.
- amongwhales 6y agoLove Douglas Adams as well. I've always seen Vonnegut as using Satire as a veil for optimism. He makes the world so absurd and yet there is still room for optimism. Adams always seemed to have a bit more British cynicism/reality to me. I enjoy him a lot too.
