book thread

I just finished Happy Birthday, Wanda June, a play written by Vonnegut (my favorite 8) ). To be honest, it wasn't his strongest work; it felt more like a short story than one of his novels, and novels > short stories. I feel like most of Vonnegut's work is structured like some kind of very long joke, and this one was not an exception. It was very funny tho, and the symbolism was very obvious so even a smooth brain such as myself can grasp what it means. I'm not gonna criticize it too hard, since I haven't watched the actual play yet.

A quote I thought you people would appreciate:

i greatly enjoyed les mis despite the huge chunks of vic stating the obvious to make sure his audience gets it right, re-capping the entire battle of waterloo for no reason, and giving detailed blueprints of the parisian sewer system
currently pressing through truman capote's in cold blood

Lots of depth that I didn't know. Really paints an incredible picture on how the gubbermint lied to save Obunghole's ass.
Then going to take a break and do a little light reading about a serial homo rapist. Jordan Peterson recommended this book in one of his kermit voiced bitch sessions YouTube lectures.

Any stream of consciousness writing drives me to insanity, also tried Norman Spinrad and it made me angry it was so bad.
