    Ready for a new author

    Welcome and I hope that you find lots of new books to read. I have to say that I have never heard of Vonnegut before. But after looking him up on Google I can suggest a few authors that might be worth looking at if what you are looking for is outlandish humor and just a lot of craziness :)

     

    Piers Anthony - The Xanth series

     

    Terry Pratchett - The Discworld series

     

    Terry Brooks - The Landover books

     

    Fritz Leiber - The Lankhmar books

     

    I hope that these are close enough to what you are looking for.

     

    P.S you can read the Discworld books in any order so just go with the first one you want to read :)

    Ok a quote :)

     

    "Don't say such things, even in jest! No, this is the imitation. But such an imitation! The gold is genuine. The stones are not glass, they are modern synthetics. You have no doubt heard of these imitation rubies, emeralds, sapphires? Some are such excellent copies that only the most sophisticated equipment can tell they are not real. And the workmanship is..."

    If only we really DID have this island to escape to now and again eh? I would take very regular holidays there, I know that for a fact.

    Yes, nights getting colder, so everyone wrap up warm, I need

    all the ingredients to make a Christmas cake ,

    a small bottle of brandy,

    a pack of dried pigs ears [for the dogs, good for their teeth!]If you don't know what I mean, you will think this very bizarre!

    Well if the pigs ear wasn't for your dogs it sertainly would have explained why I don't like Christmas cake, I have been blaming the innocent raisins for years and all the while the it was the pigs ear! :P :p :P lol

     

    Have you tried giving your dogs dried hoofs? I don't know about the uk but here you can get cow hoofs that are cleaned and dried for your dogs.

    A tool box (with tools)

     

    Warm clothing

     

    And a few pots and cook ware
