Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut.
It is a book about turning beauty into ruin. About the stupidity and cruelty of man. And also about the authors love of humanity and finding joy and love in the fate we all share.
Vonnegut stared into the abyss and never lost his idealism.
- LeonB 5y agoI generally list this as my favorite book. Have read it god knows how many times. Recently found an audio version read by Vonnegut himself - originally released on vinyl. It was great to hear him tell it, though it is quite abridged. A different (and unabridged) audio version I found recently was read by the actor Ethan Hawke — and though I respect the man, his voice/acting just couldn’t do the material justice. Great work of art.
