Popular opinion: Vonnegut is a based author.

Yes, absolutely! Definitely a very rated author. Although I will admit I haven't read much of his. I do have Cat's Cradle on my wishlist, so maybe I'll pick that up.

I've not read How you lose the time war, but have had it recommended repeatedly.

It's fantastic, I love it so much. It's mostly written as an epistolary novella, and at times is very poetic, so it's definitely not for everyone, but I highly recommend it to anyone even kinda into that sorta thing.

But also, I finished Wheel of Time for the first time last year. What a journey! I pretty much binged it so I didn't really experience "the slog", and loved nearly every minute of it. Is this your first read through?

Dang, that sounds......totally up my alley!

Re:WoT

I mostly only have time to read omw to/from work, so even though it was all I was reading, it only got maybe an hour or two a day of my attention. And broken up attention at that, what with changing buses and trains, walking between etc etc.
