I am ashamed to admit that it took me until my 30s to read my first Vonnegut book and perhaps more ashamed that it took me over 2 years after to read the next one.
The writing is so dark, reflective, and contagious in a way that is hard to describe. It's a great commentary on humanity, science, religion, and politics that is executed in such a whimsical way.
One of the first books that enthralled me enough to essentially read it in one sitting. Like Slaughterhouse Five, there is much material and countless sentences that will be whirling through my head for a long time to come.
