I'm a Great Books major who has never read Breakfast of Champions.
OK, in my defense, there were very few novels on our reading lists...I seem to remember a tortured Spring Break with War and Peace...so my lack of Vonnegut really shouldn't be too embarrasing...
But I live in Indiana for cryin' out loud!
(Kurt Vonnegut is from Indiana).
Anywhoose...I finished my big stack of library books a day early and needed something to read last night before bed. (You will be happy to know that I did a bunch of stuff to change my sleep luck...took a hot lavender bath, drank some sleepy tea, changed the sheets, and hit the hay at midnight instead of 3am...and it worked!)
I have stacks and stacks of books all over the house...some read, some unread....so I just grabbed what I thought would be a quick and easy read.
O.M.G. Hilarious and charming and witty and...damn! Why couldn't I have read him years ago? I know he's not on everybody's list of favorites, but methinks I have a new John Irving in my life.
So that's the report for the day. Still here...breathing in and out and just trying to stay out of trouble. Today will be errands (library, Target, grocery) followed by some more Vonnegut. I am going to try to get a little stitchy time in the Happy Chair...hope you get to do the same!
