Kurt Vonnegut is indisputably one of my favorite authors. And this book is my favorite of his, for one reason or another. It was something I couldn't fully appreciate until I had read a ton of his work, but it stuck with me before that just the same. Now it affects me as much as or more than pretty much any other book.

As such, my first print of it is one of my most valued treasures, despite it just being a little cardboard hardback with a crappy cover. It just holds such a special place.

It really struck a chord with me. His whole catalog is pretty amazing. Cat's Cradle is probably the most cynically beautiful thing I've read.
