    Sorry if there's a thread.

    I've read Slaughterhouse V, Mother Night and Timequake and really liked them all. I just got Hocus Pocus out of the library. Anyone else into the books/his art?

    I've read Cat's Cradle and Breakfast of Champions, they are both very good. I especially like Breakfast of Champions, it's a very accurate portrayal of American society, you should check it out.
    I didn't realise he did art (in the everyday use of the word), is it any good?

    yeah, I read slaughterhouse 5 back in Ireland but since coming here I've started reading a lot more of his.. think I own 9 or ten now and I got a couple out of the library as well... he's great. Some of his books aren't as good as others, but they're all farking fantastic imo.

    his new one, while ridiculously short and 'artsy' was pretty good too.

    I saw an interview with him on PBS in the States a few weeks back, he seems to be a sound guy. Would love to be stuck in a lift with him :)
