Wow thanks for bringing me back. I first read this story when I was in my early 20s (somewhere must have caught the audiobook too. I cannot remember exactly bc I know I always saw the illustrations, but the narrator of this audiobook *exactly* matches my internal monologue...) ...Now I am 47... ("I wish I were young..." ...amen 😢)
Thank you for the compliment. I am the narrator (I use a different name for business purposes, because its easier to get jobs if I separate my author pen name from my narrator pen name.) But I'm very happy to hear the tone I used is similar to the way people hear the book in their own head.
I too have been re-reading Vonnegut for the first time since high school/college. I was especially impressed with Slaughterhouse 5. All his books are entertaining, but I think he's at his best when he keeps the meandering to a minimum. Slaughterhouse 5 is the most focused story he wrote during his classic 'Vonnegut style' period. After Sirens of Titan he started to really find his unique voice, and that voice combined with real and powerful events from WWII (as well as a more direct and focused approach) result in a true masterpiece.
@@michaelange5674 Thank you. I am the narrator. As I mentioned in another comment I use different names as an author and narrator because I find it easier to get narration jobs that way. But I'm glad folks have been enjoying it. Thank you for the kind words. Take care.

What a revelation it's been to read it for the first time in highschool, 3 decades ago... still full of suprises, though;-)

@@edwardcabrasI remember enjoying this one particularly. The drawing of the a**hole really hooks you. Thanks for reading!
You did a really great job with this; I last read ‘Breakfast of Champions’ 20 years ago before coming across this recording.
