Slaughterhouse-Five
I finished Slaugherhouse-Five yesterday. It was probably the best sci-fi book I've ever read. It actually had a point! And the use of 4-dimensional time travel as a many-sided anti-war metaphorwas pretty cool too. Read it if you haven't.
Slaughterhouse-Five, also known as the Children's Crusade, is my favorite book of all time. I've read it a bazillion times and I agree with you when you say everyone should read it. It's extremely odd and extremely wonderful. I'm going to do my Junior paper on Kurt Vonnegut. He's a dandy little man.
