I know, it's crazy how Kurt can crystallize my thoughts so perfectly for me. All that stuff has occurred to me, I just can't say it near as beautifully as he can.

I didn't have enough time to read what the thread was about. but if you haven't read his book Slaughter House-Five and if you are into books at all, I suggest you go get this one. Its a good one. Had to read it for school and do analysis on it. Its a very good book.

I've read it. I'm actually reading it again with the new gurlie

There are actually very few books by Kurt Jr. that I haven't read. He is BY FAR my favorite author. I often tell people that if they want insight into me, to read Vonnegut. He writes like I think...all sporadically and such.

And man, if you liked Slaughter House Five, then read Cat's Cradle. It's another of his early ones. Breakfast of Champions is also great.

I actually printed this out and sent it to my mom who's a huge Vonnegut fan. She loved because it is, in fact, genius. Actually, it's beyond genius. Find a word that means "beyond absolute fucking genius" and apply it to this article.

Steve, being a fan myself, I believe that word is actually "Vonnegut"

Hmmm...let's try it out. "Dude...that article was sooooo Vonnegut.". I think it fits.
