Filling in a Hole (Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut)

So I've been told recently that there are some holes in my reading since I had never read a Vonnegut...so I decided to correct that. I picket Vonnegut's most famous novel, Slaughterhouse Five. Looking back, I really am not sure how I made it through two years of AP English in high school without reading this novel.

I'm sure most of you have read this, so I won't spend much time rehashing the plot. It's an absurdist classic that relies on autobiographical details from Vonnegut's experiences in WWII. I rather enjoyed reading it, best of all, it was fairly short and I read it it in a couple of nights.

I'll repeat what I was told: if you haven't read Vonnegut, GO DO IT. You have holes in your literary experience.
