	I was 'turned on' to Vonnegut in the early '70s when I was still in  
high school -- I absorbed a number of his books like they were  
oxygen.  And Player Piano was part of the AP curriculum.  I remember  
most fondly the God Bless You, Mr. R, Cat's Cradle period the best.   
In later years I thought he'd become a terrible bore, esp. about the  
Dresden bombing.  He's entitled to his opinion, having lived through  
it, but I don't think it was emblamatic of the Allies aims during  
that incredible apocalyptic holocaust.

Greetings:

I've enjoyed several of Kurt V's works--Player Piano, SL-5--but at some point became highly
unenchanted. So it goes.
