GEB is something I would reluctantly recommend. There are gems in there, for sure, but I probably should re-read and re-evaluate, because I felt like a lot of the second half was BS. But that could entirely be on me.

I have not read Bluebeard. Rough in what sense?

Bluebeard is possibly Vonnegut's best book and my favorite 'history' of the american abstract expressionist movement.

"rough" in that the plot was pretty much irrelevant and you didn't really give a damn. It was one of his later books. he was slowing down.
