Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It‘s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It‘s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you‘ve got about a hundred years here. There‘s only one rule that I know of, babies—:
God damn it, you‘ve got to be kind.
I can't explain how much I am liking this book........
When he gave to charity, his left hand never knew what his right hand was doing. He
never once took the name of the Lord his God in vain, committed adultery or coveted
his neighbor's ass. In fact, he loved his neighbor and never even bore false witness
against him. Major Major's elders disliked him because he was such a flagrant
nonconformist.

so-soI'm getting closer to understanding the hype. After three less successful Vonnegut's this was my next at-random pick, and I think I lucked I to one where the ratio of very obvious social commentary was higher than the amount of entertaining? nonsense and sporadically suggestive bits. I tend to enjoy when author's play with words, even make up their own, but I think Vonnegut can get a little caught up in it, to the detriment of storytelling. 1/?

Hi,
I'm making a tentative return, slowly getting better. Thank you for all your lovely well wishes.
I'll catch up with all tags and posts over the week. I've just posted the October #buddyreads for #NaturaLitsy and #VirginiaBloomsberries
I will post the discussion threads for both September 's reads over the weekend.
I'm looking forward to catching up.
