BTW, I know someone with the surname Mitra who is into Vonnegut so I'm wondering if I'm actually talking to someone I know lol.
It's the first name here but he sounds like a cool guy. Tell him I said hello.
I've tried but never got into him. I'm usually not into black humor type books for whatever reason. Maybe I'll give him another try one day. Any book by him in particular?
Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-Five, or his short stories if you just want to see if you'd like him.
Also I just read Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology and couldn't put it down.
Cats cradle and slaughterhouse are both pretty awesome.
