Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five was definitely a mind-altering, and therefore life-changing, read for me. It may not classify as scifi by some people but it's a terrific and slightly bizarre book nonetheless. An amazing writer who kept me glued to his pages and constantly thinking. I could not help wondering what he would have been like if he hadn't lived through the Dresden firestorm. Sadly, Saturday was the first anniversary of his death.
