    Thank you oompa for recommending Kurt Vonnegut.

    I am reading Cat's Cradle at the moment, and am enjoying it immensely.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I just finished "Good Omens" at my husband's suggestion and it was freaking hilarious. Looking forward to checking out Vonnegut.

    I enjoyed reading Breakfast of Champions back in the 70's. I remember taking a leak meant stealing a mirror.
