A good chunk of my KVJr collection with a special highlight on Utopia 14 and the audio collection of Kurt reading selections. Looooooooove hearing him read his works. Very satisfying.

Player Piano?

Upvotes
I've read all his novels, all his essays and non-fiction at least two or three times. I love them all (of course I've got my favorite). But I can't finish Player Piano. I've tried several times, and every time I get bored after 40 pages. What is wrong with me?

I’m pretty sure I’ve read all these over the last 25 years (except for Conversations With and Look at the Birdie).
Is there an order I should read these?
Just go on vibes?
Any books missing I just have to add?
Thanks y’all!

Digger Movie is Vonnegut-esque
118
Upvotes
Did anyone else think this? I felt like themeta treatmenthad a lot of Vonnegut energy, plus the themes of the film and dialogues also seemed influenced by Vonneguts dry humour and his humanity. Of course a lot of other cinematic influences were there, but i remember thinking a lot about Cat’s Cradle and Breakfast of Champions after the film, and was wondering if anyone else felt the same

I read all Kurt Vonnegut’s novel in chronological order; here are my thoughts.

Books are ordered within ranks too (mostly).
The lower ranks are not bad books by any means, I’m just comparing them to my experience with the top tier ones
Edit: I forgot God Bless You Mr Rosewater! That would be first in B tier

Cats Cradle

I just finished reading cats cradle, its almost 11pm and i just can’t believe it. That was sooo good!! Everytime I pick up another one of his books i think “oh well this one won’t be as good” but he just keeps outdoing himself. I’ve never read anyone else who writes like him and i don’t think i ever will. I can’t believe everyone’s not just talking and thinking about Vonneguts books constantly, hes so great.

Billy Barlow’s theory of time travel borrowed from different sources, but mostly from Kurt Vonnegut and Frank J. Tipler. Tipler was an American mathematician and physicist. Vonnegut was a novelist, which meant he liked to make things up. --from "Flat Hill and Bark"

Hi fellow readers! Feel like you would love the new Iñárritu film DIGGER. Really reminded of something Vonnegut / Kilgore Trout-esque. For those who did watch let me know your thoughts on this take (:

The song about 99 Red Balloons is very Vonnegut-esque

This song came on the radio on my way home today. As I listened and contemplated the lyrics, it hit me that they could easily fit into a Vonnegut work. A girl’s balloons in the air mistaken for enemy aircraft, sparking nuclear annihilation…so it goes.

I read Mother Night and Slaughter house 5 a while ago and absolutely loved them and a bunch of people told me Cats Cradle is his best so here we are. I really don’t like this cover but the prettier one was a lot more expensive. So it goes. From what I’ve heard this seems like it’ll be pretty good too, better be worth it because I’m reading this instead of revising for my test tomorrow 😓

"This new explosive was regarded as a great boon to big- brained military scientists. As long as they killed people with conventional rather than nuclear weapons, they were praised as humanitarian statesmen."
