Kurt Vonnegut - Authors List. 6 books of his I've read starting with Slaughterhouse Five which I read in 1971 while cruising on a Navy ship in the Caribbean Sea. It was very intense to read this semi-autobiographical anti-war novel while in the military during a war. I quickly followed this book with Cat's Cradle and then four more of his novels over the next few years. They were all fascinating quirky novels that in hindsight fit very well in the 70's.I remember seeing the movie at a downtown Philly theater right when it was released while I was home on leave and waiting for the bus to take me back to the base in Virginia.
