Location: SC, USA		The only Vonnegut I've read is Cat's Cradle and Slaughter-house Five. I read Cat's Cradle in a SF class in college and hated it. I just taught Slaugher-house a couple of years ago in a class about historical metafiction. The students liked it. I have Sirens of Titan on this year's reading list. When I finish it, I might say I'm done with Vonnegut.

I read The Space Merchants for the first time 5 or 6 years ago. I really liked it because I think it has a lot to say about consumerism that is still relevant--at least in a philosophical sense.
