It is..."Mother Night" by God rest his soul Kurt Vonnegut.
I decided to add a little humor to our little club, albeit dark humor.
Hopefully not too many of us have read it.

Nine Vonnegut paperbacks on my bookshelf and I can't find this one. I know I read it though, in like 1996. I may not be able to find the serious work of literary fiction edition I read then, but I should be able to find the one with Nick Nolte on the cover though. Regardless, I think I could serve myself by taking it for another spin. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I owned this one, but what I thought was a copy of Mother Night on my bookshelf turned out to be Jailbird instead. So this is good. You're making me get around to a Vonnegut piece I must have overlooked!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've already finished this one... what's the next one? =D
ReplyDeleteKevin, I'm picking the next book and am 90% sure of what I want us to read, but that other 10% is still giving me pause. I'll announce soon, though. Promise.
