 Hi, I'm David Schwabbe with Media Services here at the San Francisco Public Library. And I want to tell you about a book I love, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5. Slaughterhouse 5. Now, there's not too much I can add to all the accolades and criticism this book has received over the years. It's a witty black comedy. Billy Pilgrim learns from some aliens how to travel in and out of time, in and out of time, time travel, jumping in and out of these stages of his life. Ends up millions of miles away on a planet out in the universe, but it's basically an anti-war book. Billy Pilgrim was in World War II and experienced the bombing of Dresden. It was first given to me when I was a teenager and I read it one summer. My brother had come home from college. He's three years older than me. And he had told me about this book that he had read. We then gave the book to my dad and he's about the age of Kurt Vonnegut. So we thought it was kind of cool that he also enjoyed this sort of hip book of the time. Then many years later when my son needed some free reading for his high school English class, I suggested that he read Slaughterhouse 5. And he read it and enjoyed it thoroughly as well. So there's my brother, my dad, myself, and my son all enjoying this book. And I think you will too.
