just bought vonnegut's sirens of titan, which was on sale in the kindle store

sirens of titan is so great. vonnegut's first classic.

yeah, i believe i added it to my wishlist per your recommendation lol

ITT thyme is a very slow reader
i've been reading it mostly while waiting at concerts
i'm like 85% done

i like it but it's really weird to me, this is my first vonnegut novel and i'm not sure i like his style all that much

[spoiler]winston niles rumfoord is rude to everyone: the novel[/spoiler]

that's your first one? i would have suggested starting with cat's cradle as it's less hard sci-fi, but i really love sirens of titan too so idk

also i just bought cryptonomicon which was on sale on the kindle store

i wonder if boyah will still be here when i finish it in three years

hey i started that

it was very good but i kind of lost interest like 1/3rd of the way through
neat book to that point, though. i'll probably give it another shot someday

[reeper]

Finally got into the 3rd book in the culture series after a handful of attempts. Digging it a lot so far- you guys should check the series out if you like utopian scifi

I bought bury my heart at wounded knee but I've yet to read it blah

[Samus Aran]

just finished No Longer Human

[Samus Aran]

finished reading God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

very good book, but several of Vonnegut's other books are better, like Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Sirens of Titan

[Hiro]

god I don't think I've read a full book in like 6 years
I have Wind-up Bird Chronicle and House of Leaves, I really should get on those

[silvertone]

PA libraries have cramped my reading. how tf does oregon have better libs than PA...

[Samus Aran]

i've really slowed down on my reading. there's no way i'll come even close to my Goodreads goal for this year

[silvertone]
