About 15 years ago, back in college, two guys I knew–they were brothers–were on my case for years about reading THE SIRENS OF TITAN by Kurt Vonnegut. I kept saying I’d read it, and they kept hounding me about it. Well, I finally relented … and they were right. I’ve since read THE SIRENS OF TITAN about a half dozen times, and recommend it to everybody who will listen.

If you’re looking for a book that challenges conventional thinking about God, the Universe and the meaning of living a worthy life, this is the book for you. It’s a little bit sci-fi, but in a broad sense, and really gets you thinking about how all the pieces of the cosmos might fit together. And once it’s got you convinced about what’s what, it turns you on your head. It’s a quick, fascinating read that you will never forget.
THE SIRENS OF TITAN may not get the critical acclaim of SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, but it’s every bit as good, if not better.
THE SIRENS OF TITAN is a must read, and in my top five books of all time.
