Obviously. This is when I first drank the Kurt Kool-Aid, and I've been swilling it ever since!

An intentionally cynical religion invented by a Calypso singer. Isn't that reason enough to read this?
Mother Night: A NovelMother Night: A Novel by Kurt Vonnegut

CAT'S CRADLE always gets the credit as THE early Vonnegut triumph, but I prefer this. It's brutally fatalistic - which makes it all the more touching.

This is what would happen if Vonnegut wrote a Frank Capra movie. My favorite Vonnegut novel!

Being all about the grotesqueries of life, it's a marvel that a story so brutal and ugly can be so beautifully told.

Wonderfully silly and hilariously tragic.

Late era Vonnegut is awesome too. One of his most narratively inventive stories.

Sort of a companion to MOTHER NIGHT. One of Vonnegut's most lovably deplorable heroes.

One of his rare uplifting stories. An unsung classic.

I'm a big champion of this book. It's a story about chronic depression, but don't let that deter you. This may very well be his most heartfelt and endearing novel.
