Have read all of those bar 3, 5, and 10. Pretty good considering that I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to.
All I've read is 3. I am letting my country down :{.

Of the four Vonnegut books I've read, Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and his most recent Timequake, I have enjoyed them all but I do think Breakfast of Champions is my favorite. I own a copy of Venus on the Half Shell by Kilgore Trout. I found it at a used bookstore in either Berkeley or Santa Monica. I think it's a really cool thing to have.
Well, to Caravan's earlier question about whether he is still with us, I just ran into him at lunch! His house is down the street from my office so I figured it was only a matter of time. He did look a bit fragile, so I just said "Hi" instead of kissing his feet and telling him I named my two cats Kilgore and Venus.
And Heather, I assume you know that Venus on the Half Shell was written by Philip Jose Farmer. Has anyone read his other works? I have not.
that's awesome. i probably would've grovelled and accidentally knocked him over and sent him to the hospital or something.
I once got drunk and started writing a letter to Kurt Vonnegut - thank God I fell asleep and never actually finished it. Still, I love Kurt because he and Mark Twain first showed me that all Americans are not completely stupid ( written with an extremely big wink because that is also proved to me daily on these boards - and I'm going over there in a few days - - hey, but somebody must have voted GWB in!?!...and what's Everybody Loves Raymond about?)

The best thing about that comparison is that they both kinda look alike, which I've always loved. I like to think that Vonnegut is just Twain reincarnated.
