Hey Prized Possession

I've read and liked Vonnegut, but I must admit, he doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the sci-fi authors here.  Well, Huxley doesn't either and I never could stand Orwell.  (Why do people think he can write?- he's rather boring in my book.)

Anyhow- one of my favorite spoofs is Venus on the Half Shell- written by none other than Kilgore Trout- I've probably got a copy or two stashed somewhere.  It's actually Phil Farmer using a pseudonym and some makeup with wig for the photo- but if you liked Vonnegut's character, you might get a kick out of this book.

Thank you very much  i will be sure to look into it. And though Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five isn't necessarily Sci-Fi i do consider Slapstick to be of sort
