The Rastafarians - Leonard E. Barrett, Sr.

[irapass]

Piddler on the Hoof by SI Fishgal - history through the potent fiction, entertaining, capturing, inspiring.
The derisive living truth and death emotionally awake a preschooler in the Red Army's Rearguard during the WW2.
"Damn good soul teaser," wrote Barnes & Noble's reviewer. "No fruitless illusions, impractical fantasies and daydreamers. It's life, death, humor and true emotions. Coolest book on hottest topics, rich, vivid, fascinating, stimulating and gripping novel."

Right now I'm reading Friday Nights at Honeybees and it is really good. You know you've got a good book on your hands when you close the book and still think about the characters (hell, last night I even dreamed about one of them). I don't think the book summary or the coverart does this book any justice. I was getting sick of the typical relationship/"Coldest Winter Ever/B-More Careful/True to the Game" wanna be books and this pick was a refreshing change.

I just read through this thread and saw that some of you read some of Kurt Vonnegut's work. I read "Sirens of Titan" years ago and thought it was really interesting. Are his other books similar to it, with that humorous sci-fi feel?
