"....our English professor assigned James Joyce and Kurt Vonnegut."

Vonnegut is delightful, but I'd rather have my spleen removed with a butter knife than read another Joyce novel (there is nothing more painful than Finnegan's Wake).

Luckily, the professor assigned us a Joyce book that was a series of short stories. :-) The novel we read was Vonnegut’s “Mother Night”.
