Today I finally finished reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. I must say, Vonnegut is the definite master of 'weaving' or 'threading,' aka making every single tiny event in the story relate to every single other tiny event in some way or another, and all have a common theme. It's amazing how so many of his characters are recurring throughout his books as well, and the way he makes himself a character is always genius. I can't get enough of the character Kilgore Trout. In my opinion this wasn't as good as Slaughterhouse-Five, but still a very good read. Many funny moments, and an ending that is actually quite sad.

Rating: 9.25/10
(SH5 = 10/10, highly recommended)
