Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
Thats really strange I tried the 'Who do you write like' on the writers page part of the forum, where you paste your work into a site and it tells you who you write like, I put 3 poems in, 2 of them came back 'James Joyce' the other one came back 'Kurt Vonnegut' who I have never heard of before.

You should read Cat's Cradle, it's my favourite Vonnegut.
He was a Science Fiction writer but he's been kidnapped by those Literary Fiction weirdos.
