Cat's Cradle

What an interesting book. While there is a story of some sort, Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle is just dripping in satire and a dry humor about the end of the world, religion, and the silliness of people. I don't think I even caught everything of what the author wanted to say about the world around him.

Is this book for everyone? Definitely not. It is strange, humorous but not in an overtly humorous fashion. I found myself agreeing with many of the points that Vonnegut buries in his text. Definitely worth another look at and to see what others have said about such an iconic read.

Quotes:
“Sometimes I wonder if he wasn't born dead. I never met a man who was less interested in the living. Sometimes I think that's the trouble with the world: too many people in high places who are stone-cold dead.”

“There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.”

“Live by the harmless untruths that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.”

“Science is magic that works”
