recommended for: Everyone, especially Vonnegut virgins.
This was the first Vonnegut book I read. I spotted on my Dad's bookshelf, said to myself "I've been meaning to read some Vonnegut" and picked it up to read without even glancing at the back cover. I loved the first chapter, then read the second and loved it too but had no idea how it connected to the first. When I got to the third and it was also completely different I finally glanced to the cover and noticed it was a collection of short stories! They are all wonderful. Some funny, often in that dark and sinister yet hopeful way only Vonnegut seems to master. It is a great first Vonnegut read because it shows the range of his imagination and writings styles.
