Helpful Score: 1

For some reason, I find it harder to read short stories than actual novel, perhaps because I want to know what happens next and with short stories, there isn't much "next." That being said, each of these stories has something different to offer, whether it's a moral or something just for entertainment value. Each of them got me thinking in some way. I especially enjoy Vonnegut's futuristic stories, probably because "Harrison Bergeron" was the first one I read because it was part of the curriculum for a class I taught a while back, and that story made me want to read Vonnegut's other works. Besides the more sci-fi oriented or futuristic stories, I really enjoyed "Long Walk to Forever" and "Who Am I This Time?" which were more like mini-love stories and didn't quite fit the theme of some of Vonnegut's other works in this collection. All in all, there is something for everyone here.
