The Sirens of Titan

Next up on my list of Favorite Fantasy Novels is Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut.  A riotous adventure through the universe that, like all Vonnegut’s novels, has something deeper to say.

Here’s the official book description:

The Sirens of Titan 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.
