.. Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut?

Looked interesting so I picked it up at the library.

Still have a couple books ahead of it to read, but I'll get to it eventualy.

No, he's not. And its not Fahrenheit 54, its Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Kurt Vonnegut is most famous for Slaughterhouse Five, generally considered one of the greatest modern novels, as well as many other works. He is undeniably one of the greatest American writers, and arguably one of the greatest writers of all time.

LMAO.

Seriously, though, Vonnegut is one of the most important and most entertaining writers of the past 50 years. Timequake is good, although not one of his best (they're all worth reading). The best are (in no particular order):

Player Piano
Cat's Cradle
Breakfast of Champions
Slaughterhouse Five
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Timequake is great. It's the last novel Vonnegut wrote, and he really brings in a lot of elements from his other works. I'd suggest reading Slaughterhouse-Five or Cat's Cradle first, but it isn't neccasary, and you can still appreciate the book without having touched any of his other works. Just be sure to go back and read it again later ;)
