Can’t say this about too many other writers, but if you haven’t read Vonnegut no explanation of how insanely original, hilarious, and profound he is will suffice. If you have seen any of the movies they are simply not representative of his writing. I hate to recommend him because he is one of the greats and there’s no better way to get you to flee to Netflix, but I am happy to recommend him because his writing is just plain enjoyable.
