Vonnegut on The Daily Show
 

Wow. Not my favorite author ever, but one of my new heroes. If you haven't seen this, watch it. Politics aside, the guy is one of a kind.

I really enjoyed the interview. Never read anything by him though, what are his books like?

There are not like anything else you have read. They are funny and cynical. I recommend Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, and Player Piano. You probably read the short story Harrison Bergeron in school.

He is truly unique.

I'm on the West Coast, so I haven't seen it yet. He's on tonight?

Re: Vonnegut on The Daily Show
 

Yes, watch it. It was very entertaining.
