i have yet to read that book, but i love vonnegut. he came and spoke at my school last winter, and of course i attended. much of what he said had already been expressed in his writing, particularly Timequake. what struck me most was his demeanor. i hope to god i'm half that sharp when i'm his age. or when i'm half his age. he's astute, charming, and witty at the age of really-f'in-old. so impressive... can't wait to read "man without a country", thanks for the recommendation
