From: utzoo!decvax!ittvax!bunker!willy Newsgroups: net.books Title: Kurt Vonnegut Article-I.D.: bunker.248 Posted: Wed May 4 15:57:11 1983 Received: Thu May 5 03:50:40 1983 [I hope this isn't a duplicate, but we've been having netnews problems lately...] Re-reading Kurt Vonnegut's Palm Sunday recently, I came across the essay in which he grades his own books. Having now read all of his books, I was surprised at how my grades for his books differ from his grades. Well, I decided that net.books would be the perfect place to see how other people feel about Kurt Vonnegut. So, how do you feel? Specifically, I'd like to have you respond to a survey. Please grade the Kurt Vonnegut books you've read (using A+ through F), and mail the responses to me. As usual, if/when I get enough responses, I'll summarize for the net. To jog your memory, what follows is a list of books by Kurt Vonnegut. These are all of his that I can remember while sitting here at work. If I've forgotten any, sorry. In no particular order: Sirens of Titan Player Piano Cat's Cradle Slaughter-house Five Breakfast of Champions Welcome to the Monkey House God Bless You Mister Rosewater Mother Night Slapstick Jailbird Palm Sunday Dead-eye Dick Eagerly awaiting your replies, and happy to be discussing something other than the merits of SF, I remain (unfortunately) Bill Banze (...!bunker!willy) [ I'd much rather be Bill Banze Author of the Great American Novel ]
