This past week I (re)read Kilgore Trout's (Farmer IIRCC) Venus on a Half Shell and Morrow's Towing Jehovah and Blameless in Babalon.

Yesterday I read Jim Thompson's King Blood (1952) that had an amputated finger and a psychicly amputated vagina.

Vonnegut you must be messing with me too.

My favs are God Bless You Mr Rosewater and Cat's Cradle. I have a copy of Player Piano published as Utopia-40 in the UK bought in Hay-on-Wye back in the 1990s.
