Another excellent book by Kurt Vonnegut.
On loan to my Dad.
Journal Entry 3 by Gillyflower02 from Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands United Kingdom on Saturday, September 25, 2004
Borrowed from Torve. Didn't like it much and never finished. To be returned to Torve
I flicked through it again to check it wasn't one of Vonnegut's weirder books. It wasn't I don't know why my dad didn't get into it.
I reread this to give me something a bit lighter to read, while I also read The Year of the Hare: America in Vietnam, January 25, 1963-February 15, 1964. I chose it because I lent it to my dad recently, but he was unimpressed. I wanted to re-read it to see if there was anything inappropriate it in, which my Dad wouldn't have liked. Apart from the author hating his father, I don't think so.
My Dad probably just wasn't used to the weirdness of Kurt Vonnegut. As Vonnegut goes, this is not so very weird. It's just the narrator keeps referring to the present as being a million years from now, when human kind have evolved into something like seals, though the action from the past which the narrator is describing is sometime in the 1980s. (The book was written in 1985.)
I enjoyed reading the book again.
