I'm pretty close to the end of Empire in Black & Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Aside from the unnecessary sex scene and 'sludginess' of the book, it's pretty good.

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

I started Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut today and I'm already on chapter 7. Something about Vonnegut just gets me- I shoot through his books in no time and love every minute of it.

I highly recommend:
Cat's Cradle
Bogombo Snuffbox
Slaughterhouse Five
The Sirens of Titan (my favorite)
and Breakfast of Champions

At this point I think I'm just going to dedicate myself and work on reading everything he's ever written haha.

I adore Kurt Vonnegut and have read all his stuff several times over - similarly to you I read a few in a row -  Sirens of Titan is my favourite, then Bluebeard and then Mother Night.
Have you read Look at the Birdie? There's a new unpublished short story collection coming out soon too.

You slay me, Pica. Robert Burton, eh? I haven't seen that brought up in conversation in a while.
You're a font, er, I mean a fount of knowledge.
Yes, I've read it.
