Happy Birthday, Wanda June (and Kurt Vonnegut!)

I'm a huge Kurt Vonnegut fan. Have been ever since my BFF Robin gave me Bluebeard for Christmas when I was 16. I plan to read everything he's written, but so far have just read about half of his books. Starting today - his birthday! - I'm going to start back at the beginning and read all of his books in chronological order (I'm also a big fan of chronological order.) But not in a row - I will intersperse them with other books.

I put this chronological list (yay!) together from the bibliography on the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library website:
