Guest professor poopatronic Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 i just finished reading slaughterhouse-five for the third time, and i just felt like commenting on what an incredible author vonnegut is. i can't even describe it. other good vonnegut books: the sirens of titan god bless you, mr.rosewater welcome to the monkeyhouse breakfast of champions hocus pocus timequake these are just a few that stick out in my head, the guy has never written even a sentence short of amazing.

Jesus of Nazareth Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Hell yeah, you just made up for your name. I love K. Vonnegut......my only problem is i only collect books with hard backs, and all his works are hard to find in anything but paperback. The Cat's Cradle is badass....

Guest Bare Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Bump for Kilgore Trout! One of the best books I think I've ever read, and one of the worst movies I think I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bare Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Granted, but I loved the book so much, I saw the movie at Blockbuster and I was like "hmmmmm..." Before I knew it I was home and the bullshit was playing on my vcr. It was horrific, but not as bad as Kevin Kostner's re-make of "Breathless." (My mom rented that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PissyMissyStylezPMS Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Does anybody here read any Albert Camus? He's simply amazing. If you are a lit nerd like me I highly suggest Albert Camus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
