AND SO IT GOES...
Every once in a while you are introduced to an author that many consider iconic and yet somehow you have never heard of. And when you finally read it you almost instantly fall in love with the style and can't get enough of.

This was my experience with Vonnegut and I am very happy that I started with Cat's Cradle. I went on to read multiple other books by him, but this probably has remained my favourite (closely followed by Sirens of Titan).

Incredibly interesting scientific (ice-9!!), anthropological (Papa Monsano!) and theological (Bokononism!!!!) concepts, unique literary style and just fun. I can easily recommend it to anyone.
