A couple ideas that come to mind; war, politics, the Avian flu, anti-German feelings and cultural prejudices, genetic freaks, extended artificial family middle name, artificial family utopia, "Hi ho" is "a senile hiccup"...Vonnegut facing death the one end that won't go away.

I recently finished Sirens of Titan, and enjoyed it immensely. One question. Winston Rumfoord's Taj Mahal-esque palace was named something like Dun Roaman (not sure on the second word). What's the exact name of it? Is it latin? I Wanted to translate the name and now I can't figure it out. I returned the book to the library. Thanks a lot if anyone can help me out! Also, what's the next one by Mr. Vonnegut I should check out? I read sirens and slaughterhouse already. Tx again!

I know last Father's Day he made an appearance in Chicago...I realize this doesn't help much but I only mention it because it proves that he does still make appearances...

Does anyone know when or where Kurt will be making an appearance? Does he even come out anymore? I have not seen any info in a long time. I live in New York City and would really like to see him before he pushes up the daisies...so it goes...

I was wondering if anyone knew if Vonnegut would be in Philadelphia in the near future?

"A Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has nothing on Vonnegut! I read "Slaughterhouse 5" first, and it totally ruined the Guide. I didn't think it was anything but stupid after Billy Pilgrim and Kilgore Trout! Kiss kiss!

Joseph DeMarco:
you really name it, the first author i would compare to vonnegut is douglas adams! they have the same kind of humor although i think that adams is even better because he gets somehow more funny meaninglessness into his stories but maybe i'm preoccupied as i read adams in my mother tongue and vonnegut only in english ;)
