Love the transparency here.

Letters of Note recently tweeted a photo of Vonnegut’s grades of all his novels.

Some of you Kurt Vonnegut fans will appreciate this.

I’ve only read Slaughterhouse Five. And, while I can appreciate it, I would rank it much lower than a A+, maybe a C+. Yeah, I’ve currently got it ranked 62 out of the 79 novels I’ve read from the Time list. Maybe Cat’s Cradle is worth a read at some point, though.

Like I said, I love Vonnegut’s honesty. And in keeping with that theme, I rank today’s blog post as a C.

Do you agree with his assessments of those novels?
