I’m the only one running in the Vonnegut Marathon. If I don’t finish, no one will, but I’ve fallen behind. To catch up, I’m going to read several novels back-to-back. I’m reading Breakfast of Champions now and have both Slapstick and Jailbird handy.
Meanwhile, I wanted to find a good quote from Slaughterhouse-Five before returning it to the library. Though the novel is fragmentary, there aren’t many pieces that stand well alone, so I opted for the first line of Chapter 2. It’s one hell of a hook.

Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.
