Yay for Kurt Vonnegut! I am new to this forum but will join in. I have two autographed 1st edition copies of Timequake sitting next to my bed.
He is by far my favorite writer of this century, though maybe not for one single book, but rather the body of his work. I felt a great loss when he died - like the funny, wise grandfather I never had passed away.
If you manage to get another 20 posts before the end of the month, you will be able to vote for the book you would like to read/discuss with us, Kid.
Welcome to the Forum!

Yeah I'm a newbie too, and dead set on voting for Breakfast of Champions. How many posts do I need to make before I can vote?

^^ I think you need at least 50 posts to be able to vote.

Thank you. I'm working on it...Originally Posted by Nossa
The poll accepted my vote and I had less then 50 posts.

"No," said George. "No Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. Thats a thing I want ya to know."
I went for The Sirens of Titan, but I'll likely read regardless. All three books sound pretty good, so there's no bad choice for me. Breakfast of Champions sounds intersting too.
Keep the votes coming for Breakfast of Champions people!
newbie to the forums, and i think the OCtober read will be my first here. im excited!

I'll have to pass on these, I've read them all before. I think they are all quite good, and hope you like whichever is chosen.

I think I will skip the poll, I will read whatever you chose. I haven't read Vonnegut's books, so I will wait and see which one will be the first
