Was at The Strand with my dad last week. He'd never been before and I thought he'd enjoy it. And I had no idea this baby was even a thing...
But it was on the shelf and so OF COURSE I grabbed it. And I'm reading it now. It's glorious!
God bless Margaret Atwood and her total mad genius-ness!!!!

Sorry. I guess I didn't know who you were. I accepted you now.

We agree on most books that we've both read. The only ones we don't agree on are classics that I didn't enjoy (On the Road, Breakfast of Champions, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance).

I've read the book and seen the movie On The Road, and I finished both in a clueless stupor.

I've actually never read any Vonnegut. So I have no opinion at this point.

I spent too much of my life as a non-reader and I'm catching up now. I'm not proud of this, but it is what it is. I'll get there. He's on my list.

He's a pretty easy read. I'd go with Breakfast of Champions or Slaughterhouse Five as a first read.

I'd rather read than do anything else these days. Movies, TV, work... I'm pretty much thinking about whatever book I'm reading (or whatever I'm writing) during any other activity.

I'd wait on Breakfast of Champions. Start with Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle.
