Slaughter House Five

"Poignant and hilarious, threaded with compassion and, behind everything, the cataract of a thundering moral statement."

It's the anti-war novel that says everything Catch-22 does, and more. in fewer pages.

If you find this too short for a summer read, feel free to pick up on his other boosk - Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, and so on.

Or read the books we passed over: Don Quixote, James Hogg's Confessions of a Justified Sinner, or John Sladek's Roderick.

We're meeting at James', on 5 September.
