Just finished reading Vonnegut's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater".
Incredible satire of extreme conservatism and extreme liberalism. Ole KV was not subtle. Great read. B-)

1. Off topic
Heh. That's a KV title I'm not familiar with. I'll have to read it.

When I was in college, there was a bar across the street from campus called ... Mr. Rosewater's. When I was there I always wondered where that name came from. :D I guess I know now. :-)

3. That's a must read
I need kv in large print or better yet audio book form now, but God Bless You Mr. Rosewater is one you'll definitely enjoy.

4. That is a Vonnegut book I would like to read in the near future
I have read a half-dozen or so of his books within the last two or three years; in fact, I was actually reading The Sirens of Titan at the time of his death. But God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is one I haven't yet gotten to and it sounds interesting.
