Funny how much progress you can make when you know you don't have to be anywhere. Halfway through Slaughterhouse now.
A couple of things I noticed that I didn't think about before - Vonnegut might have been somewhat of a male chauvinist, but that was probably the way he was raised. There are a couple of comments about things like women's work and one comment about how sad it was that one women couldn't have children any more. They kind of took me by surprise.
I also noticed again how intertextual his books are. He is always bringing up the fact that he is writing and mentioning characters from other books of his, like Kilgore Trout and Mr. Rosewater. I love that about him.
