runnypoops posted:I work in an outta the way pot shop that doesn’t get much traffic, with business even slower because of the time of year I have tons of downtime. Now instead of spending this downtime cleaning, doing inventory or any of the tasks Im supposed to do I read books. I am currently reading Slaughterhouse Five and not really liking it, Vonnegut is kinda boring I love Vonnegut but I would never suggest starting with Slaughterhouse Five, that's him at his Vonnegutiest. Try Mother Night (! definitely especially read this regardless), Galapagos, Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle, and then Slaughterhouse Five.

I agree with Vonnegut's own assessment and rate Breakfast of Champions a C. One of my least favourites, but it has been so long I can't remember specifically why. Too self-referential? Mother Night and Cat's Cradle are A+, Galapagos, Sirens of Titan, and Slaughterhouse 5 are about a A. For me, from memory, anyway. Maybe if I reread them now I would rate them differently. But even though Vonnegut is one of my favourites, I found Catch-22 a much stronger book than Slaughterhouse 5.
