read a brave new world

1000000000x yes

[Samus Aran]

yeah, but i want his specific thoughts on it. like, is it a good one to start with, or is it one of his better ones.

it's a good one to start with, yes. and i would say it's one of the "better" ones, but not one of the "best" ones. it's in the upper percentile, we'll say.

cat's cradle is also a good one to start with, and is also a lot better than slaughterhouse imo

breakfast of champs obvs.

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

brave new world is boring

i dont remember much of it but i remember enjoying 1984 better.

also you hsould read What is The What by Dave Eggers

[Samus Aran]

breakfast of champs obvs.

i think breakfast of champions benefits from the reader already knowing kilgore trout from one of vonnegut's other novels

Yeah exactly. I got a copy of it for my dad for Christmas and he keeps texting me about how it is blowing his mind how it was written in the 30s. Huxley made some spot on predictions

[silvertone]

island is a cool book by aldous too.

[silvertone]

so is heaven and hell

[silvertone]

but if you want a true book detailing the 'way things are' i recommend the communist manifesto.

with vonnegut you should read golapagos
it's a really cute read

my favourite of his is mother night

The Brothers Karamazov

seconding this

i haven't read brothers karamazov yet but i've read and enjoyed some of dostoevsky's other works
