Kurt Vonnegut is pretty shit. I mean its readable but only in the same that the Archies are listenable, nothing to get excited about.

But I respond to his good-natured despair, Jason.  I'm always a sucker for that.

I really enjoyed 'Man Without a Country', the autobiography, more than any novels I've read of his.

i happened to be finishing that the day i found out he died. what a book.

I found Vonnegut entertaining but immensely silly and obvious when I first read him.  It didn't help that all around were all these kids ooh-ing and ah-ing about how wonderful and deep he was, which of course predisposed me to despise him, contrarian that I sometimes am.  It was only when I picked up his books decades later that I came to appreciate him.  And even then I preferred his later stuff to his early antics.

Sarah, I have you pegged as a Richard Bach fan, am I right?

the band Dead-eye dick?

Yes start with the band, they are great, New Age Girl is a great tune to start with.

Then the book is almost as good.

Not only did I have to read Jonathan Livingston Seagull for a horrible business course I was required to take in community college, the teacher made us listen to it while sitting in a darkened room.   

The horror.
