[QUOTE]Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death (1969) is a satirical novel by Kurt Vonnegut about World War II experiences and journeys through time of a soldier named Billy Pilgrim. It is generally recognized as Vonnegut's most influential and popular work. Vonnegut's use of the firebombing of Dresden as a central event makes the novel semi-autobiographical, as he was present during the bombing.[/QUOTE]
This book is pretty great as you never know what's coming next in the time twisting plot and it really opens your eyes to how brutal war is, definitely one of my favorite books.
