Thanks for writing this, and for the link to the original story.

You're welcome. Welcome to the Monkey House (1968) was the first Vonnegut I ever read.

I wish you luck with packing. (I do wonder how many books you have.)

I don't know. Several thousand. At least forty-seven white cardboard Staples boxes' worth, but I didn't keep precise count as we moved them and I forgot to ask anyone else to. But they are all out of my house now and at Rob's!
