God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian – Kurt Vonnegut Jr. – 1999

If you like satire then you will love this book; it is very intelligently funny.
With the help of Dr. Kevorkian and the Huntsville Texas lethal injection facility’s generous permission of use of its death chamber, Vonnegut goes to the other side on a daily basis to interview famous and infamous dead people. Amongst the interviewees are Sir Isaac Newton, James Earl Ray, Shakespeare and Kilgore Trout.
I can put hilarious excerpts in here but honestly, almost every word is worth quoting. It is a very short book that you can read in an hour, so don’t make me aggravate my carpal tunnel syndrome, read it for yourself.
