What are your favorite Vonnegut books? I'm sad... to say... I read in high school, but with some depression that hit in early 20s I kind of lost my will to read. I'm turning 30 in a month... I don't really know how the time flew. I want to get back into it. I loved God Bless You Mr. Rosewater and Slaughterhouse Five. My brain just won't put effort into concentrating on reading anymore. I do other things- read music on the cello. But nothing is like getting into a good book. Any suggestions on good starting places to get anchored again? I don't know if Ligotti is welcoming or friendly to someone who hasn't read in a while...

Rosewater is absolutely one of my favorites of Vonnegut, it will always have a special place in my heart. And hey, don't beat yourself over things you have no control over, try to be kind to yourself and allow yourself a moment to breath. I'm not good at getting people to kick those kinds of habits but if you ever want to talk I will respond.
To answer your question, I might suggest Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. It's one of my favorite books of all time, I can't stress enough how much of a good book it is. As well as all things Salinger like Nine Stories.
Please be well.

Also, just listened to some of your new album, congratulations on that. You're really talented. My favorite of the ones I heard was Fresh Start, I hope you're happy with it, you're allowed to be proud of yourself.
