God is obsolete.

Picked this up in a used book store. Been reading it in the van. The guy who sold it to me was explaining how the cabal of world banks started WWI and the CIA owns the internet.

I don’t know if its the translation, but something with the dialogue in this book is kind of off-putting. Nobody seems to be asking important questions, and the characters are coming off as kind of flat.

Game of Thrones has gotten incredibly dissapointing, so I needed to fill my Westeros itch. Really enjoying this fictional history so far, George does a good job of making it seem realistic by writing from the perspective of a Maester.

I’m not sure I’ve read anything like this before. This seems to be the most meta of all of Vonnegut’s books, mashing together autobiographical stories, musings, and traumas with an unfinished novel told in a non-linear narrative.

Immensely touching. Vonnegut feels much older, and the consequences of living to 88 are clearly weighing on him in both positive and negative anecdotes. Would recommend.
