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.

catch-22 is one of my all time favorite books. Could not get through the sequel. Tried multiple times

All right. New topic. I am still unsure what the hell happened in American Gods. Great book, I love it. Nothing Shadow did made any difference. It was just a weird story told by a weird guy

I'm reading the second half of the Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. I bought the first half in 2011, and it took me ten years to get through it. Not because i don't like it nor am I a dummy, I just kept getting distracted by other books. So ok, i said I'm not a dummy but this book is kinda hard to read, luckily it's really caught my attention now so I'm cruising through the second half.

don't keep us in suspense. Is it any good?
