do you like vonnegut?

i do.

would you have sex with his withered old bones?

i would.

did you consider switching to pal malls to be more like him?

i did.

have you read breakfast of champions at least 8 times? suspended your disbelief for sirens of titan? gotten drunk in the dead of winter and read slaughterhouse-5 all in one sitting and went out driving and run right into a ditch and proceeded to leave your car in the shop for the better part of a year?

i have.



discuss at length for your sexual satisfaction and mine.

God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian.


The last chapter where he interviews Issac Assimov at the pearly gates is truly inspiring.


"Hell is other people."


Oh yea. Go ahead and shed a tear.


Sirens of Titan disturbed me for some reason. It made me think outside the box more than I'm comfortable with. I don't like thinking outside the box to much. It's scary out there, you know.

I'm about half way through Sirens of Titan right now. Enjoying it more than Breakfast Of Champions.

breakfast of champions > sirens of titan but only if you dont mind hearing vonnegut ramble about himself. i thought the whole thing was deliciously gonzo myself and smacked of what thompson would have written if he went on anti-anxiety meds and (snicker) wrote fiction.

Well, finished Siren of Titans. On the whole, I enjoyed it. I have Welcome To The Monkeyhouse and Slaughterhouse Five to read now. I've read a couple of the short stories in Monkeyhouse already, so I'm looking forward to that.

I found myself a beatup, yellow paged and dog-eared copy of Slaughterhouse Five at a junk yard sale for fifty cents about a year ago. Bought it simply because I'd heard the name somewhere, and seemed to remember that it was supposed to be a "classic of twentieth century western literature" or somesuch. It got added to the pile of other crap I was picking up, taken home, shelved and quite quickly forgotten about. I think I may have read the first paragraph of the blurb before dismissing it (I'd been reading Dan Simmons' Carrion Comfort at the time, and didn't feel much like another WWII POW-themed novel right then).

But anyway, after reading this thread I decided to dig it out again. Quite good so far. Thanks gashy.

Already read Slaughterhouse Five, liked it. Picked up a copy of Breakfast of Champions today. Liking it so far.
