Vonnegut's novel SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE may be used by A2 students as a coursework text and my AS students may be interested in this resource if the short story 'Harrison Bergeron' has engaged your literary curiosity. Harrison Bergeron is a story within the WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE collection.

Slaughterhouse Five is a novel that every human being should read.
