I just finished writing a paper on his books Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse -five. They are absolutely amazing. Your thoughts on his novels?

I personally liked Cat's Cradle better than Slaughterhouse Five, even though Slaughterhouse Five is the more famous.

Spoiler alert?
I just finished Breakfast of Champions. I wonder about Kilgore Trout and Dwayne Hoover, who they are. Trout wants to be a cockroach, he is an absolutely self-abusing man. Dwayne Hoover is never even shown as sane. In Bunny's memory he is, when he sent Bunny to military school at 12 because he was feminine. Dwayne is so vulnerable to the suggestion, or the allegory of what it would be like if you had no cause for concern about anybody, and it was only you. You are left at nothing - you form your own decisions. Vonnegut is a very good humanist. What is the meaning of life?
To send telepathic messages to the creator of the universe, you fool!

I'm reading Slaughterhouse Five at the moment. It's pretty awesome so far. It's my frien's favourite book so I had to see what it was like.

How is saying that you like a book misinterpreting it? I think you're the one doing the misinterpreting.
