Finished Persepolis about a week or two ago. Really enjoyed it, moreso than the movie which I saw prior to reading the book. The book explains the series of events FAR more than the movie. I didn't like the movie as much because it left me very confused as to why things were happening. Ohwell. I started and finished Galapagos, which was wonderful. Wholly recommend, was similar to Cat's Cradle in some aspects. Not a perfect book, or a good Vonnegut work to start with, as he jumps around quite a bit before beginning to tie anything together. However, it has all the most wonderful aspects of any Vonnegut novel (human race destruction/human beings sucking in general for the most part). At this point I have read 9/14 Vonnegut novels! I also have read The Little Prince about 3
times this year, so I figure I can count that at least once towards the total! Was told about The Little Prince years and years ago but I never picked up a copy until this year. Great book, very quick to read also. I should hope that everyone has read this book already, but if not they should! I am still slowely reading The Decline of American Power, doing a chapter at a time every few days because it is SO dense. Scholarly author who must not have supposed that normal people would ever pick up his book. Today I will finally begin reading a book I have wanted to read for a while, but it was checked out of the library for an entire semester during the fall. It was available yesterday so woo! I got it. The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved; Inside America's Underground Food Movements. I hope it rules.
