Have you read his books? If so, which one is your favorite? My personal favorite is Slaughter-House 5. Sheer fucking brilliance.

yeah i read slaughterhouse-five, im reading it again in fact for my junior historical research project where i have to show how the ordeals of the time affected his writing. i liked that book alot but i still have to read his others, the one i want to get next is breakfast of champions.

That, coupled with his dry dry sense of humor and witty social commentary...yeah. Is he still alive? BTW I just finished "Deadeye Dick." It was very good, as always.
