I like the shorter chapters, it makes it more of a casual read. Contains all of Vonnegut's randomness.

Re-read after several years, which in itself is a great endorsement since I rarely revisit a novel. This book remains pertinent, hopefully not prescient, as people celebrate the achievements of Oppenheimer in the theater.

I believe my favorite but most cynical part is the ending, proving that the will to go on heroically is only inherent in Hollywood movies.

I'm only reading the cat's cradle. Can't find just that book on this site

My favorite Vonnegut. This is a masterpiece.

Page 2 of Breakfast of Champions says it all

This book sounds to be one the best novels vonnegurt has written

Vonnegut wrote Breakfast of Champions for himself as a 50th birthday present. What an incredible gift.

I still press my feet against others when I want to feel close...

Breakfast of Champions (the last in this 3-novel set): "Bitterly funny." Both of those things, separately, but in a blend that is so different from the first of the set, "Cat's Cradle" -- which was wild, wacky, and inventive but also posed "desperate problems" when you take the conflicts in it seriously. But the treatment in "...Cradle" was much lighter than in "...Champions" -- which can occasionally be a tough read, a more direct and obvious book with a much blacker viewpoint to most parts of it.

I reviewed the individual books. This is the edition I own them in, though.

another great one!!
