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. |

Notes"If you were to bother to read my books, to behave as educated persons would, you would learn that they are not sexy, and do not argue in favor of wildness of any kind. They beg that people be kinder and more responsible than they often are. It is true that some of the characters speak coarsely. That is because people speak coarsely in real life. Especially soldiers and hardworking men speak coarsely, and even our most sheltered children know that. And we all know, too, that those words really don’t damage children much. They didn’t damage us when we were young. It was evil deeds and lying that hurt us."Letters of Note: I am very real
Letter from Kurt Vonnegut to the head of the Drake school board, who burned 32 copies of “Slaughterhouse Five” (1973) — Do read the whole thing!

Got this on Kindle and I can’t wait to read it! Basic Training is the new novella by Kurt Vonnegut, believed to have been written in the 1940s. It’s only just been found and published, and I’m ridiculously excited to read it.
This will be accomplished while drinking wine and watching “Angels and Demons”, followed by “Moulin Rouge”. Recipe for a perfect evening in.

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?

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

Sure! I don’t think I’ve ever done a full-fledged review of one of Kurt’s novels, but I’ll give it a shot :)

Time for Galapagos and my White Russian (which I may have consumed half of already…). Sorry to anyone who doesn’t want Galapagos spam all over their dashboards. Also, sorry I’m not sorry.
Let it begin!
