While Mortals Sleep

Kurt Vonnegut, 253 pages

Smart and imaginative short stories about how love, fame, and values can take a extradordiary turn in ordianary lives. A successful business owner of a road construction company spends all of his time working or playing with is train set instead of spending time with his wife - until his mother destroys it all. A young nurse recieves a gift that everyone would dream to have, but will it stop her from having the life she wants to have? Two young man decide to start spread rumors and convince a co-worker it is true, but when the joke is on them how will they react?

I thought Kurt Vonnegut short stories were witty and creative. Each story ends with the character usually learning something as well as the reader. Whether or not you want moral advice I would recommended that you read this book.
