Books by Kurt Vonnegut
Slaughterhouse-Five
by Kurt Vonnegut
· published 1969 · read 2009-01-01
★★★★☆
Vonnegut witnessed the Dresden bombing, and this is his book about it. Of course, it's not just that, and even where it is just that, it is processed beautifully. Vonnegut is brutal and yet kind, dramatic but always matter-of-fact.
2BR02B
by Kurt Vonnegut
· published 1968 · read 2019-07-16
★★★☆☆
2BR02B is a very Kurt Vonnegut short story about a future with immortal people and very quid-pro-quo population control. Think Futurama's suicide booth. It's gruesome in this Vonnegut style that shows you reality, but in a very specific detached angle. I read it when I was feeling down, and it did a good job kicking me back into a more grounded view, as ill-fitting as that sounds.
Cat’s Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut
· published 1963 · read 2020-05-17
★★★☆☆
(Spoiler free note to future self when I once again start confusing the different Vonnegut titles: This is the ice one.)
