Truly a Bodhisattva - the premise of a time quake awes me every time i reread this magical book - we are not worthy of such greatness - and yet here it is for everyone
Fantastic book, I never read this one before for some reason. It's such a relief to list3en to an author with an ironic sense of humor in this era of phony optimism and self-proclaimed "winners" who are at least as miserable as everybody else.
It's Vonnegut's style to mix fiction and non-fiction. I'm not sure how much of it would be considered 'meta' but he doesn't know the meaning of a fourth wall.
i listened to all his books and this is the last ...and.. i think one of the best...his description is for time quake one and this is time quake two... it also contains lots of personal notes about his life and is a wonderful swan song ... if you know his work already it is a very rewarding book..and the reading is good as well ... give it a chance :)
i feel like we're living in a time-quake right now. Maybe just me :( 4:16:52 "any dream of taking better care of our people might as well be a transvestite hermaphrodite without some scheme for giving us all the support and companionship of extended families within which sharing and compassion are more plausible than in an enormous nation" I'd bet anything there are at least a handful of people today saying they're both hermaphrodite and transvestite SIMULTANEOUSLY.
I have been reading this guy's stuff since the 70s . Never gets old.
I just love Vonnegut. My favorite writer’s voice of them all.

Beautiful book, beautiful man. "I'm a philosopher. I have to be." Truer words....
Starts at 9:00.
PURE GENIUS - even if Kilgore Trout doesn't care.
Another critical voice in the high art of ethics. The sort of person who should be president. Artists are worth 100 scientists each.
Artists? They are useless in the real world. You communist fuck face.
When.
Does.
It.
Start!?!??
It starts at the beginning. Try again.

Have to admit that Kurt's description of this story made it sound so pointless that I couldn't even start it.
