Slaughterhouse-Five

Quick read. It surprises me sometimes at how quickly I speed through books with a touch of science fiction. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a sci-fi fan, but it can be interesting to me.
I'm not touting Slaughterhouse-Five as traditional sci-fi, but since he "travels" through memory to being in different periods of time, both future and past, it seems to be attached.
I also appreciate learning things from books. When something is mentioned, I love to go and do my own research regarding the topic. The Children's Crusade is a strange and unknown to me event in history. So, it was interesting to check into it and know a little more about the Crusades, but especially the efforts of children and what happens when they need a little guidance but lack responsible leaders to be willing to direct aright.
