I'm only a chapter in, but so far I'm enjoying Mother Night. I've taken a long time getting around to cracking open my first Vonnegut, but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it. Two of my favorite authors, Franz Kafka and Haruki Murakami, are often compared with Vonnegut, so I figured it was time to give him a try.
A closeup of my strawberries. Berries have been good this summer, but this batch is arguably the best so far. I'm still waiting to eat a perfect peach though!

P dear, too philosophical! You should read my story - i.e. Garfield the Cat!
Not at all. The Vonnegut was a very quick read! 200+ pages in huge print; I was done by this evening.
What?! Didn't know you and J were that deep... thought Vonnegut was in the same category as Nietzsche et al...
Not at all. There might be a lot of posibilities for Vonnegut in terms of literary analysis, but reading and understanding the story is not the hard part. His prose is about as hard to follow as a newspaper.
J only reads sci fi for fun; I'll literally read anything from Teen Cosmo to the unabridged collected works of Proust. Talk about hard to get through (I mean both).
