Yes, I read Vonnegut. No, this is not "amazing".



I recently commented to someone that I found Vonnegut's writing hilarious.  My opinion was met with disbelief.  How dare I think his writing is hilarious.  (It was OK because at least this person HAS read some of his books.)  I felt that I should clarify what I mean by hilarious:  It's not that I find him roll on the floor laugh out loud funny, but I tend to smirk frequently while reading his books. 

I'm currently reading Player Piano.  I just passed the part where the stray cat was electrocuted on an electrified fence.  At this point the cat appears irrelevant to the story.  Talk about going off on a tangent...
