I am floored that someone would write a book about war this good and I was never assigned to it. People, I am a literature major. I am one year away from completing my formal education. I'm not even sure if Vonnegut is still alive, but if he is I'd like to give him a medal. So step forward, Kurt! It'll have to be tinfoil, though, I'm not a dynamite inventor or anything.
...Words fail me. Just go read it.

vonnegut gets a bad rap among the edumacated/vqr/hudson review set. i personally like him, based on this book and on mother night, which i like a lot. consider it suggested.
my 12 grade ap lit teacher assigned that book and, i must say, it not only opened discussion about the "war on terrorism," but was a great discussion tool that we used to investigate memory/POV.
i freakin' love that book...tralfamadorians rule.
also, i'd suggest cat's cradle which is great, as well as the breakfast of champions.

Belated comment here, but...
Vonnegut IS alive! One of my friends went to school with one of his offspring. He lives in MA or NH I believe.
And - YES for sure to S-5. So good.
