I finished this this morning, having read most of it yesterday. It's no surprise that I would want to read this book, because it's about a grad student who makes a living as a birdwatcher/research assistant while his best mate trains to be a librarian. It's also set in Indiana, which is also a nice tie-in for me as a Vonnegut fan. Snapper is a lovely series of vignettes that charts the migratory patterns of songbirds and the flight patterns of human fancy. Each first sentence is exemplary, and I've taken notes.
