Highly recommend. It’s a good intro book to Vonnegut, the other being Slaughterhouse 5. Or maybe those are just my favorites!

Very effective mixes of comedy and tragedy, prose that borders on poetry at times, very imaginative concepts. He’s able to walk you over that threshold of disbelief almost before you even realize it.

Welcome to the Monkey House is a collection of excellent short stories that includes "Harrison Bergeron". "The Euphio Question" haunts me to this day
