My sister and brother-in-law just got me this Vonnegut vintage boxed set for Christmas. I am so psyched about this! 😍😍
pickI‘ve been picking this book up every so often and reading a touch of dated wit that left me with a chuckle and little else. This isn‘t entirely the book‘s fault- my memory is sieve when teaching! So this is a worthwhile read as a historical doc and a good thought tool; I was marked by the prophetic nature of the final interview. This man was more important than history is allowing I think. Only so-so because it‘s dated.

A collection of opinions, book reviews, interviews, and speeches with/by KV. At the time of these writings, Vonnegut was characterized as a “black humor” writer/satirist. I liked the variety of the selections, and thoughts from this man who served in and survived WW2.

My plan was to dip in and out of this one, but sometimes I let too many days go in between. It took me forever to finish, and as a result, I got kind of tired of it. Still a decent collection, though. I liked the speeches and book reviews (that KV wrote of other books) the most.
Timely. I could not agree more.

A little post-workout “me time” at the Y before I get my little guy from childcare. This place is crowded today. Makes me happy!
Husband: I‘m not trying to be unsocial, but this book is due back tomorrow. (Waking Gods - his first overdrive loan 🙌🏻)
Me: Do I really look worried? 🤓📖🍷
Although, we could probably sit somewhere more comfortable.
ICYMI: Several Vonnegut ebooks are on sale! The lovely @OrangeMooseReads posted this graphic a couple of days ago. Thanks for sharing! Looks like the deal runs for the month. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Something on the funnier side to help me through The Emperor of All Maladies. #kurtvonnegut #essays #usedbooks
I saw the photo @britt_brooke posted of her Vonnegut collection, and it inspired me. If I was going to join an author fan club, it would definitely be for Kurt Vonnegut. One of my life goals is to own all of his books. I have a good start. #JoiningAFanClub #JuneTunz
Thank You Half Price Books, I Love You.
Plato says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But what if the examined life turns out to be a clunker as well?
If somebody says 'I love you' to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol holder requires? 'I love you, too'.
Trying to do a little reading before sleep. Isabella has different ideas. #basiccat #nopewasntreadingthatatall
I found this humorous. Kurt he has a way with words and thoughts.
My love for Vonnegut begin with stealing my big brother's copy of Slaughter House 5. About 3 years ago I was in Indianapolis for a cousin's wedding and dragged my mom with me to The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library and Museum. My love was solidified. I mentioned this book early in the weekend, I picked it up at the local library sale for $1, when I examined it closer I found its a first printing.
Our community library had a sale. These are what I got, my son got a stack as well. $12.50 was spent. The Vonnegut is a first Edition 😊 $1.00!
