Very timely for me as I'm right in the middle of Cat's Cradle. I also have Slaughterhouse 5 waiting at home for whenever I finish this one. That's quite an inspiring letter. Thanks for sharing! :) EDIT: I just remembered I was going to make a post out of a quote from Cat's Cradle, to see what other people thought of it. Maybe if there's any interest here I'll make it. The quote is from the page before the contents section: For anyone unaware/wondering - Bokonon is a fictional religion from Cat's Cradle. Basically what I'm wondering is how you all feel philosophically about the quote "Live by the harmless untruths that make you brave and kind and happy and healthy.""Live by the foma* that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy." - The Books of Bokonon. I: 5
* Harmless untruths
Slaughterhouse five is a wonderful book and in my opinion is Vonnegut at his best. The first one I ever read was "Breakfast of Champions," when I was on my way out to college for the first time. It has been long enough that I should probably reread that one. Enjoy your vomit get journey! -I kept the auto correct in there because it was worth a good laugh.
Ah good for you! Those books are two of my all-time favorites. Cat's Cradle especially. If you enjoy them, I'd also recommend Sirens of Titan and Breakfast of Champions.
