Slaugherhouse is great, but I would also recommend Breakfast of Champions. It was my first foray in to his work. I read it the same month I read Jack Kerouac's On the Road. -I was 18, both of those books had a tremendous impact on me. Later I would read, The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castenada and decide to be an anthropologist. I should have stopped at On the Road. -A 300 level Archaeology course stopped me dead in my tracks. Never got the anthro degree. Later it would be found that Casteneda was a fraud, but his book is none the less entertaining.
