The Flood / Re: What are we up to today?
« on: February 04, 2015, 01:53:00 AM »
I read half of a Kurt Vonnegut novel today.
I've never read him. Any good?

I'm entertained by his writing. I guess he's got a sort of cynical sense of humour, is what I'd call it.
I'm interested.. tell me about the book and stuff.

I've only read a couple of books by him besides the ones I'm reading know, and it's been a couple of years since then.
They're kind of hard to describe as he's sort of whimsical as well. But Slaughterhouse Five is sort of a semibiographical account of the life of a guy called Billy Pilgrim, who becomes unstuck in time during his time as a german POW in WWII. From there it covers various parts of his life from being an eye doctor to being abducted by aliens.

The other book I read was Breakfast of Champions, which is about an abscure Science Fiction author called Kilgore Trout travelling to an arts convention to give a speech. He meets a bunch of people along the way and Vonnegut tells us all about a lot of the characters he meets no matter how insignificant they are to the story. I think his point was that none of us are protagonists in anyone else's story and so we're all going to die at some point. I recall the book being very rambley.

I'd imagine his books could be hard to get into for someone with a decent attention span, but for someone like me with a very short attention span, they're just perfect.

Not everyone will like you, and not everyone is going to maintain a level of civility with you. If someone attacks you though, try to find the humour in annoying someone enough to attack you.

I could do the fairly easy homework assignments that aren't due for a few days, or I could faff around for half an hour then go to bed.

Various things.
Let's say... influential figures, maybs.

I can't really tell you what's influenced my views on romance because I don't really know them myself.

If you guys wanna, we can play tonight or now. Whenever is good with you.
I'm kind of annoyed with my little debate with Verby in Serious right now, so I might be up for that.
Skype me whenever, I can get on Xbox once you give me the go
Maybe if there's one more person that shows interest. I'll have to dig the game of out a box.

I can play now
