Rayraz,
It was "The Sirens of Titan". Sorry about that I was very tired last night and it has been a long time since I read any Vonnegut. "Slaughterhouse Five" was about Dresden.

In "The Sirens of Titan" the main character is charmed by the reflection of what he judges to be the most beautiful girl in the world. Through deception he is coerced into trading consiousness with another being who lives near this girl - when he gets there by trading bodies through some transported like device, he finds that the girl is merely a statue and the person that he traded bodies with was a paraplegic prisoner being held for murder.

It just goes to show you that great minds seem to think
alike at times.

In case you're interested here's a link to Kurt Vonnegut
