to put it plain I'm baffled. Vonnegut took me into a nested loop of time travel and as a result I'm baffled. believe me I'm baffled as in BAFFLED. I was stung at many places trying put everything in a single path. beautifully woven plot with almost intriguing storyline. read it in as quickly as poss...

I'm a highly believer that most of the time we don't choose the book but that the book chooses us, and it does when it thinks it's time. That happened with this book. This beautiful work of art narrates, through travels in time and comments verging on dark humor, the life of a common person that h...

Coraz mniej wśród nas osób, dla których wojna jest nie tylko abstrakcyjnym terminem oznaczającym konflikty, które rozgrywają się gdzieś daleko. Nas wojna nie dotyczy. Swoje wyobrażenie na jej temat budujemy podczas lekcji historii, podczas oglądania filmów o tematyce wojennej. Z całym zestawem poglą...

Myśl by przeczytać tę książkę chodziła mi po głowie od czasów liceum, kiedy to kolega recytował jej fragment w czasie konkursu. Rozumiem jej pacyfistyczny przekaz. Rozumiem, że z oparów absurdu wyłania się wielkie NIE dla wojny. No cóż. Widać nie jestem tak wielkim intelektualistą by rozpływać się w...

I put this book on my Classics list because I've never read anything written by Vonnegut. How do I begin to describe this book? It's about war. It's about mental illness. Its about death. It's about aliens. This story toggles back and forth between the character Billy Pilgrim's experience of World...
