when i was a little kid i spotted on tv this weird-ass movie that i totally loved... it switched from place to place and you could not understand what went on but i did somehow and i loved the music. never had a chance to finish seeing it (was @ my grandmother's house & we had to leave) but it haunted me forever. sure enough it turned out to be slaughterhouse five, and that's how i became interested in his books.
another time i was in this israeli kibbutz and besides the drinking and the making out w/ global girls there was not much going on-- fortunatelly someone had donated a bunch of vonnegut books to their library-- mother night i think was so brilliant, especially when he analyzes the mentality of the american working class vs. the british.
