American author Kurt Vonnegut passed away on April 12, 2007.
To remember him and also to give a chance to those of us who have not read his works, we will be reading one of his novels, Slaughterhouse-Five.
Please post your comments and questions on the book in this thread.

I'll get a copy when I get off of the slope...in about a week or so. Until then, enjoy.
Just found out that my local library branch does not have a copy either so had to order it. Should get it sometime next week, hopefully!
I'll check my bookshelf to see if I have a copy of it sitting around the house. If not I'll pick it up at the library tomorrow.
Ill take a trip to the second hand bookshop come monday
Hey, it's great you guys will be reading Slaughterhouse Five. Nice to meet you. I'm going to re-read it sometime soon & look forward to discussing books here. Have a good night
I am willing to give the novel another try. Just didn't do much for me, found it rather dull going, and maybe because I had just finished Catch-22 and A Clockwork Orange might have been the cause of my indifference upon exposure to the work.
how many pages is it?
Amazon says 224 pages:

Glad you will be joining us, Riesa! :)
A new copy?
Oh carp! I can't find my copy, I guess I'll hit the library.
I would like to, but no time I'm afraid. I can't keep deviating from my reading list. I already committed to Irving in next nmonths read. And that was also a deviation.
