You can't go wrong with Vonnegut.
I haven't read Riddley Walker. Good, you say?
Someone already recommended Ubik to me yesterday, so it's on the list
Vonnegut. I've read Cat's Cradle and the Mr. Rosewater, and will start Slaughterhouse 5 tomorrow. I'm not sold on him yet. I did enjoy both books, but didn't get a wow. I'll see how I like Slaughterhouse 5 and then maybe get Breakfast of Champions.
Riddley Walker. Yes! Excellent. Without dropping any spoilers, I would say there are two things to get your head around that might seem tricky. 1. It's written in a made up dialect of English, so there are few times you might have to think about what the word or sentence means. 2. It's a lot of mixed up confusing ideas. My advice is don't worry about either of those things. Don't try to understand everything. It'll come together in the end and you can look back to the bits you didn't get on first pass.
). Idk yet about who I would cast for the rest - great characters though.
