Hi ho.
This book is hilarious. I devoured it in two hours and am excited to pick it up again. Vonnegut is addictive. This is my fave by him thus far. His uncanny ability to point out the absurdities in life is what gets me thinking the most. Here is a little excerpt:
I have had some experiences with love, or I think I have, anyway, although the ones I have liked best could easily be described as "common decency." I treated somebody well for a little while, or maybe even for a tremendously long time, and that person treated me well in return. Love need not have had anything to do with it.
Also: I cannot distinguish between the love I have for people and the love I have for dogs.
This man is brilliant.
