As a result, he only gets home to Newport, Rhode Island, once every fifty-nine days and then only for an hour.  But at least, as a consolation, he now knows everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will be.  He knows, for instance, that his wife is going to Mars to mate with Malachi Constant, the richest man in the world.  He also knows that on Titan -- one of Saturn's moons -- is an alien from the planet Tralfamadore, who has been waiting 200,000 years for a spare part for his grounded spacecraft...]]>

    <body><![CDATA[What an interesting commentary on the human race and religion. According to this book, God takes a &quot;meh&quot; approach toward humanity, and we are more governed by accidents and luck than a divine hand. This is a very entertaining read.]]></body>
