This is a quick read (or listen) and is worthwhile. It’s a first person narrative about life in modern American and covers a variety of topics. Though a bit egotistical, Kurt Vonnegut is funny, intelligent, and has some interesting observations. It didn’t change my life, but I’d read it again and I recommend it (unless you like G.W. Bush).

I love Vonnegut. I just want to throw that out there.

Man Without A Country is a nonfiction collection of writings and essays that Vonnegut came up with over the past few years that he assembled to make one beautifully well written work, a combination of memoir, commentary, and humor piece. Vonnegut touches on his family, his childhood, writing, politics, all sorts of good stuff. Shuffled into the book are some of Vonnegut’s original drawings and sketches, most of them depicting a short poem or quote.

A great book – in my opinion, some of Vonnegut’s very best writing – that any Vonnegut fan will love.

I loved this book. It is more human than most people I know ;-)
