Andrew Goldstone finished reading Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Fine, I read it. It was the first time. It isn't any good, except for a couple of clever pages and the basic affirmation that war, even "good" war, is repugnant. The more a text increases its literary pretensions the less tolerance I have for its chauvinisms. Put this one in the round file next to Catcher in the Rye. I guess you can keep Catch-22? I don't know, because I read it 25 years ago and I'm not going back.
