You might enjoy Vonnegut's Galapagos, if you've not read it. It's a quick and easy read like most of his books.
- denton-scratch 4y ago> Galapagos Yes, I read it. There's a twist in the tail that nobody should spoil. I haven't yet encountered anything by Vonnegut that I didn't enjoy reading. I want to re-read Breakfast of Champions. My first encounter was Slaughterhouse 5, followed closely by Cat's Cradle. So it goes.
