Broke out my #Vonnegut pint glass. Best gift ever from @HeatherBookNerd 🩶 It‘s a beautiful evening in Tennessee, and the cicadas are calm (for now).

pickRead this for IRL book club and I think I was the only one who liked it! It‘s a difficult tale to summarize but it‘s about the human condition. The absurdity he envelopes it in doesn‘t hide the sadness & consequences of loneliness. I read the prologue 3x because first, Vonnegut bares his soul in his own detached way, and second, it encapsulates the story which follows.
This is my first Vonnegut and I‘m glad to have read it.
My city is hosting its first ever bookstore crawl! Four days, 23 participating independent bookstores, and so much fun! I‘ve made it to 10 so far and have more planned for this weekend. It‘s been delightful! I‘ve been crawling with friends and my kids and even found the best pair of book earrings! 📚 Such an incredible community event.
Y‘all. 🤩 My husband got me this gorgeous Vonnegut ornament with all his books! It will reside on the tree then move to my Vonnegut shelf for daily admiration! #HappyHolidays
pickA series of essays from the middle of the George W Bush years that are part old-man musings, part political rant, and part lamentation for the state of humanity. In other hands it could have come off as a bit tedious, but Vonnegut is funny and charming enough that it was a pleasure to read, even the bits I recognized as recycled from his many lectures and commencement speeches.

As a kid I was the youngest member of my family, and the youngest child in any family is always a jokemaker, because a joke is the only way he can enter into an adult conversation.
pickI read Slaughterhouse-Five ages ago and I don‘t think it had the impact on me that the book tends to elicit (in my defense it was an e-book and I don‘t take those in as well as print… anyone else?)
Anyway, I took a big break reading this GN version thinking the same was going to happen. But then I finished in one sitting and it hit! I get the hype. A lot of really important statements made about the impacts of war.
