Description

“[Kurt Vonnegut’s] best book . . . He dares not only ask the ultimate question about the meaning of life, but to answer it.”—Esquire

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

The Sirens of Titan
is an outrageous romp through space, time, and morality. The richest, most depraved man on Earth, Malachi Constant, is offered a chance to take a space journey to distant worlds with a beautiful woman at his side. Of course there’ s a catch to the invitation–and a prophetic vision about the purpose of human life that only Vonnegut has the courage to tell.

“Reading Vonnegut is addictive!”—Commonweal

    Reading all of Vonnegut's books in order shows a wonderful evolution of a writer explaining the meaning of life while searching for it himself.
  • Great book

    Truly a must read, although why it costs 11.99 is beyond me.

    Hilarious and sad at the same time. If your favorite book is The Bible, steer clear of this one.
  • Amazingly Engaging

    By far better than the overrated Slaughterhouse Five. If you can read only one Vonnegut book, put this one at the top of the list.

    My favorite book of all time. A true classic. Philosophical sic-fi at its best!
