I really enjoyed Slaughterhouse Five. Not sure I understood it (in fact I’m relatively positive I didn’t,) but it was the right kind of weird for me.

Slaughterhouse Five — although Sirens of Titan is still my favorite (but the former is definitely more polished)

Slaughterhouse 5, read it in holiday, didn’t like it. Read it again 3 years later and it’s one of my top 10 books ever. Think I wasn’t concentrating first time round.
