no but i want to
I read it not long ago and loved it! Pretty weird though ?
Yeah I read it and really enjoyed it. I do think it’s a little bit over hyped though.
I’ve always loved Tralfamadorians! They didn’t put them in the movie because they look too silly.
Didn’t know there was a movie! Was it as good as the book?
@Heather it was ok, it’s an older movie.
1972
And so it goes.
Yeah, that novel’s awesome! I have So it goes. tattooed on me.
Twice.
Absolutely loved it.
My all-time favorite book. I’ve read it dozens of times.
Read it and loved it 🙂 Vonnegut was an amazing author over all.
I have it but never read. What is the actual storyline??
One man being thrust into different places in his own timeline of life randomly by an extraterrestrial race of beings trying to understand time as we see it because they live outside of sequential time.
The Tralfamadorians who look like a toilet plunger with a hand on top.
There was a Star Trek episode that had an alien race that did this to Sisco to try to understand humans.
For the WTF sum up, go on you tube and look up thug notes. A friend sent me that link and it literally doubled my TBR list
@Heather ooh when I finally get to sit down I will go look there
It is a classic book. I read a long time ago. I should reread it again to catch up.
There is a movie version too.
What’s it about, the title sounds of putting ?
Go on youtube and check out “ThugNotes” for a quick sum up. He does almost every classic fiction novel I can think of (plus he’s pretty cute) ?
ty
yeah it’s crazy and I loved it, read it earlier this year
One of my favourites.
Read it in high school 40 years ago but I don’t remember much about it.
I read it back in college. First, the book is somewhat biographical: Vonnegut was a witness to the bombing of Dresden, and that part of the plot mirrors his life experience to some degree. But the rest is kind of a mess, with the slipping back and forth to the past, present and future off-world. It’s a confusing read at times, with the feel of a pulp fiction novel in it’s worst sense. Why Arthur C. Clarke is my favorite science fiction author, not Vonnegut.
It’s worth reading as a primer in deconsctructionalist literature. Don’t trust it on the facts–some of the Dresden material is based on a book by a holocaust denier. But it’s a good exercise in a particular type of writing. (I am a bit disgusted that Vonnegut never added so much as a footnote of correction in later editions, after glorifying David Irving as an historian in the book, though.)
It’s a great book. I like Vonnegut’s work in general.
Wonderful book and Author
So it goes.
I remember I liked it alot. Wrote a term paper on a couple of his books.
One of my favorite books.
Yes, it’s been 15 years, I liked it but I don’t remember much of it.
I absolutely love Kurt Vonnegut so much!
