Have you read any Vonnegut? He's my favorite author by a mile (there is no second best) and an amazing satirist.
He slipped my mind, because I read all of his books many years ago.
O my.... I've been a literature student and them a teacher for the same so you can assume that I've come across most (or all) of them. Kurt is definitely one big name but TBH he is still not given a place in academia here. I remember I've read some of his short stories and I've one of his books gifted to me but I've never read.
I'll bring that out tommorow.

Cat's Cradle is my favorite work of his, but he has many great ones.

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I've been gifted The Sirens of Titan. I'll see if I can find his other books at the local booksellers. Or, I'll have to get them online or from New Delhi when I visit there next.

Sirens of Titan is another great one. Definitely in my top 3.

I really need to restart reading, I feel like I'm losing my vocab and grip on English in general. It's been a break from books and literature since Covid erupted. My previous job was an administrative one that made me lazier and uninterested in reading.

I started reading again, once I finished grad school. It's been very refreshing.
