"Nice prints of Vonnegut quotations handwritten by the man himself. They're a bit expensive, but worth the price. From nonsense funny to painfully sarcastic remarks, there are selections to every taste. Update (april 13 2007): from now on, these wil probably be worth a lot more."

Vonnegut's genius is crystal clear. Think Orwell's 1984 meets Star Wars."
