I read this one fairly recently. So I'll wait until the discussions start up, then join in. Great book! Hope you guys enjoy it.
I got a paperback from the library (a new copy too, stiff and fresh). I read chapter one last night and while I felt like I was following it, it jumped all over the place so that now I can't quite verbalize what I read. This definitely isn't going to be the breezy read I expected.
I borrowed the Slaughterhouse-Five ebook for free from amazon. If you have a kindle + prime membership, this title is available/eligible as part of the "kindle owners lending library", which means you can rent it for free (using up your monthly quota of 1 book per month). If this is you, try it out.
I read this back in October and loved it if not a little baffled by it at first. Picked it up again today and already 56% through it. I forgot how easy it was to read. I could have it finished tonight if I burn the midnight oil a little.
I just finished this book last month! I was a little baffled at first and well, I still was a little till the end! The book is all over the place so it's really necessary that you pay close attention. It starts off where it left off, anyplace, anywhere, anytime in the book! It is easy to read but I can't say I love it or anything. Had it not been about the after effects and the sufferings of the war, I doubt I'd have liked it even as much as I did. No offense to anyone but, fantasy is not my thing!
I started it a week ago when I went on vacation. It was a long flight to Paris--and an even longer one from Rome. I probably could have finished two books, but watched movies and slept too. The second book I started was Wuthering Heights, which turned out to be a good idea since I just saw it is next month's read.
Just thought i would say there is a thug notes for this on you tube. I love these. Sorry don't know how to link through the app.

He really is. I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov and I'm itching to finish it so I can check his review out. I hate knowing plots before I get to them.
I joined this group because you guys had Slaughterhouse-Five as your next read. I will be on it as soon as I finish A Princess of Mars.




A little late to the start, but it seems like this year is flying by. Vonnegut is taking over for March!
How are you planning on reading this month's book, if you're not an early bird that's already finished? Grabbing a hard cover from the library, buying the e-book, audio?
Personally,I plan on rocking Oyster for this one, as soon as I finish one of the five I have in rotation right now. (I know, I have a problem.)
