Kurt Vonnegut

I finished Cat's Cradle about two weeks ago in a sitting. Know any books like it or want to discuss the book?

I haven't read anything by kurt vonnegut, sadly. what would you suggest for someone getting into him?

>>1691 Cat's Cradle. Its very witty

>>1692 Not him, but thanks for the pdf. Had been meaning to read it after seeing all those /b/tards spam the name so much

>>1690 pretty much every other vonnegut book. theyre all self-referencing so youll have a serial case of the warm and fuzzies. breakfast of champions, slaughterhouse-five, sirens of titan, player piano, are the highlights. do yourself a favor and get them in a form factor thats portable as theyre so fuarrrking readable.

Im about 40 pages in, reminds me a lot of Carlin's standup

Vonnegut really has a great sense of humor to all his stories. Cats Cradle is the one with Ice-9 correct? Great book. Got Breakfast of Champions recently, gonna be reading it whenever I have the chance

>>1707 Requesting a pdf of Breakfast of Champions

>>1715

Does anyone here have player piano in PDF format?

Holy soykaf, I thought Cat's Cradle was just a thing that some old glitterboy on 8chan was brewing soykaf about. Didn't know it was an actual book.

>>1737 Ha, same. It is rather nice, though; all their threads on /b/ seemed to have disappeared after July 1st. I guess their big event might have spirited them away in Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA!? Well, at least they were basing it off of something.

>>1737 >>1738 What were the threads about?

>>1739 They were started by some poster with knowledge of occult claiming reality was just a holding tank until certain ethereal matters were sorted out. Multiverses and that weird soykaf. What he had to say was incredibly creative and very interesting, but of course /b/tards took him too seriously and made a cult. I have the logs from the second thread or so. I could dump them if anyone's interested. Here's an excerpt as a teaser "Naw, like in the other thread. Its a gestalt of everyone's memories that holds the cat cradle together. Only way it can happen is if you get 5%+ percent of the population in the cat's cradle to collectively believe something. Then 'as will be done in 'heaven', will be done on earth'. Right now everyone's carrying all the baggage of poorly run governments, white people fuarrrking around with the inputs and watching the 4th sequel of Mall Cop. Should be easier to shim something nicer into place once the retarded mystics dumb predictions blows up in their faces and the 72 are released to eat them all then head home to do whatever after being imprisoned for so long by douchbags no one likes."

Went ahead with it anyways. Figured I'd put it out there. Shame I didn't save thread 1. That was the real doozy. They were all really fun, until /b/tards took all the fun out of it by taking it seriously. Thread 2 http://pastebin.com/Y8LYSM56 Thread 3 http://pastebin.com/FVsTC1L7
