God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian by Kurt Vonnegut


So this was an interesting choice for my first Vonnegut. This book of small excerpts Vonnegut did for a New York Radio station. He allows himself to go under with the help of Jack Kevorkian in order to go to heaven and have short interviews with various individuals ranging from Hitler to Shakespeare to a random constructor worker who died to save his schnauzer from an angry pit bull. Vonnegut's writing is witty, sarcastic, and entertaining. It's a short, but wonderful read.
