Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut.

My all time favorite read. Short, whimsical, odd, and enlightening, all in a very small book as far as word count is concerned.

Great book! I read this several years after reading "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" and couldn't believe the similarities, it seemed like almost the same book at its core. At first I thought Vonnegut had ripped off Adams, until I looked at the publication date; Vonnegut had him beat by 20 years :)

Same! I've only encountered one other person who's ever read this book, but I love it.
