I'm Lauren, and I'm a proud groupie. I have a (probably unhealthy) obsession with Kurt Vonnegut: his words, his drawings, and his wisdom. From time to time you'll see more personal things on here, because it is my blog, but it's probably 95% Vonnegut. If you love Kurt, you're in the right place. |

Notesthegrandidiot-deactivated201212 asked: What is your favorite Vonnegut novel? Mine personally is The Sirens of Titan.
The Sirens of Titan is definitely one of my favourites! This is always a hard question for me to answer because I love so many of his novels, and my opinion changes all the time. But generally, besides The Sirens of Titan, I also love Breakfast of Champions and Bluebeard. Also Cat’s Cradle. I don’t think I can narrow it down beyond those four :)

Notesoldcityblues-deactivated2013031 asked: what book should i read after breakfast of champions by vonnegut? im really into it so far, gonna need more by this guy for sure
Oh, god, so many options. My personal favourites besides Breakfast of Champions are The Sirens of Titan and Cat’s Cradle, though there are others that I love. If you’re enjoying Breakfast of Champions then I think you might also enjoy the disjointed timeline of Slaughterhouse Five, or the snarkiness and insanity of Deadeye Dick. There are a lot of options to choose from!
Followers, what do you think?

Notes"People took such awful chances with chemicals and their bodies because they wanted the quality of their lives to improve. They lived in ugly places where there were only ugly things to do. They didn’t own doodley-squat, so they couldn’t improve their surroundings. so they did their best to make their insides beautiful instead." -

NotesKurt Vonnegut reading an excerpt from Breakfast of Champions.
Sometimes I feel incredibly confused when the people laugh, because I find what he writes somewhat funny, but somewhat sad.wow wow wow

Notess-uicidetrees asked: I LOVE Kurt Vonnegut. More than is probably healthy :D The man is my hero. And your background is great- my favorite Vonnegut sketch from my favorite Vonnegut novel!
Hon, I’ve convinced myself for my own sanity that there is no unhealthy level of love for Kurt. Because if there is, I’m in trouble :) Glad you like the background! Breakfast of Champions was my first KV novel and remains one of my absolute favourites.
