I am ill-read of his non-fiction except for essay which I thoroughly enjoyed (God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian), so I'm very interested in reading moe. He's published a collection of short non-fiction on topics from Bush to the environment entitled <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=YG2VK8CC16&isbn=158322713X&itm=1">A Man Without a Country</a>. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/books/09/16/books.vonnegut.ap/index.html">CNN.com</a> published a short piece on the popularity of the recently released collection in which Vonnegut is quoted as saying "My father, like Hemingway, was a gun nut and was very unhappy late in life. But he was proud of not committing suicide. And I'll do the same, so as not to set a bad example for my children."azureladybugnoreply@blogger.com
