About us
"We are healthy to the extent to which our ideas are humane"
Are you a longtime fan or newly interested in the works of Kurt Vonnegut? Are you looking for a dose of humanity and sanity in a crazy world? Maybe you're just interested in reading some good fiction? If any of the above are true, you'd be a great fit for the Kurt Vonnegut Book Club.
Every month, we'll be discussing one of his works, starting with his first novel, Player Piano, and eventually working towards classics like Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, and my personal favorite, Breakfast of Champions.

“Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.”Description
We finally made it! Slaughterhouse-Five is the entry point for many Vonnegut lovers into his works, and intertwines elements from all of his previous works:- Player Piano: The individual struggling against systems beyond their control
- Sirens of Titan: The potential for human history to be the product of outside influence
- Mother Night: Reflections on the moral ambiguity and personal cost of war
- Cat's Cradle: Science and progress as vectors for destruction, and the human need for 'harmless untruths'
- God Bless You Mr. Rosewater: Wouldn't it be crazy if there was a character named Kilgore Trout that showed up throughout my novels?
Looking forward to the discussion!
