I was one of those high school kids with zero direction in life. I picked classes based on factors such as likability of teacher, likelihood of cute girls in the class, and the way the class name sounded in my ear. This is how I ended up in a Contemporary Literature class my senior year. I was not y...
I really like Vonnegut's humor in this book. While this book has the trappings of science fiction, do not expect the type of hard sci fi as you might read from Asimov or Clarke. Currently my favorite Vonnegut book.
I've got many thoughts about this book, and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to adequately express half of them.For now, let's just say that it was better than it could have been at times, and more horrible than it ought to have been at others. Full review up later.

Then the number of twists started to pile up and my mind quickly changed. The Sirens of Titan is easil...
Every man's an island as in lifeless space we roam. Yes, every man's an island: island fortress, island home. - Bee's sonnet The Sirens of Titan is about isolation. It is one of the loneliest stories I have ever read. It's peculiar, because in some ways it is a love story, in some w...
I've never read this book, but I LOVE the author Kurt Vonnegut so I'm writing this review solely based on other works I've read.He is the bestest, awsomest author ever!!Love him like I love unicorns and rainbows.
Malachi Constant is someone with whom I can readily identify, though god knows I am not as rich.In fact I am poorer by a few billion dollars and some change.
