"Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time."

Sure SH5 is his best known, but "Breakfast of Champions" is my personal favorite. I have been describing crazy people as "those with bad chemicals in their brain" ever since. Really love his short stories too. Equal in my opinion to those very forward thinking ones written by Bradbury in the 50's and 60's.

At the end of my first year of college, I was sitting in the library reading something, and the snorkle jacket dude came up and took the seat next to me. I had seen the snorkle jacket (a heavy winter coat with a hood that pretty much covers your entire head, probably a local term) dude many times but never had occasion to speak to him. He never took that jacket off regardless of the weather. Anyway he turned me on to Kurt. He insisted that I read him now. I ended up reading them all. I never got a chance to thank him.
