Sorry to have doubted you, Kurt Vonnegut

I just finished reading more Vonnegut. I spent most of last summer reading as much of him as I could. I decided to pick him up and finish his remaining novels. When I got started on The Sirens of Titan a couple days ago, my first impressions of that book weren't great.

"I guess all of them can't be good," I mused to myself after finishing the first chapter. I considered leaving the book for dead. Three days later after devoting an hour or so each night to reading, I've finished it. It's a great book delivering the same whimsically cynical-yet-optimistic take on life through a ridiculous science fiction story that's associated with Vonnegut. I'm sorry to have ever doubted you Mr. Vonnegut, I won't do so ever again.

The Sirens of Titan are done, next up The Piano Player.

Gettin' on by,
Greg
