God Bless You Mr. Rosewater

God Bless You Mr Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut

Ah…satire. This is one of my favorites. Filled with absurdity as only Vonnegut can create. Focusing on the state of society, this satire had me thinking, laughing, re-reading and re-thinking!

If you enjoy satire be sure you pick this one up!

Cat's Cradle

Satire enthusiasts—be sure to read “Cat’s Cradle” by Kurt Vonnegut. If you love satire, I’d be surprised if you haven’t read this already. I absolutely loved this one.
