Having tried aimlessly to finish catch 22 by Joseph Heller but always ending up falling asleep to due to the sheer boredom the book induced I decided to read Slaughterhouse Five. A far better read and one which might be in my opinion one of the best books that focused on the period surrounding the second world war.
After reading Vonnegut Jr I turned to Bukowski to lead me back to the path of debauchery and in his second novel Factotum it was certainly just that. A path of drunken debauchery.
