metadigital Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I should've thought to look for this when I opened the thread: I was just about to quote: "Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt." :D I hope that sentiment was true for the author. I was just reviewing his oeuvre, and I don't think I've read any of his work. This I shall rectify immediately. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Pidesco Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Or Slaughterhouse Five. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Pidesco Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Like that Bruce Willis one, that came out a few years ago. Breakfast Of Champions?

Baley Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Yeah, which should've been obvious, since you can't really transpose that novel's charm onto the big screen. Slaughterhouse-Five was just average and boring (I literally fell asleep half-way through). Mother Night - his third best novel, I think - was kinda competent, though, if I remember correctly, Nolte was emoting in all the wrong places; uh, extrude it from the category of adaptation and you might have a pretty decent film. Um, yeah, "I am approaching my fiftieth birthday, Mr. Trout," I said. "I am cleansing and renewing myself for the very different sorts of years to come. Under similar spiritual conditions, Count Tolstoi freed his serfs. Thomas Jefferson freed his slaves. I am going to set at liberty all the literary characters who have served me so loyally during my writing career. "You are the only one I am telling. For the others, tonight will be a night like any other night. Arise, Mr. Trout, you are free, you are free." He arose shamblingly. I might have shaken his hand, but his right hand was injured, so our hands remained dangling at our sides. "Bon voyage," I said. I disappeared. Edited April 13, 2007 by Baley
metadigital Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Try The Sirens of Titan. Ok. Or Slaughterhouse Five. Thanks. Yeah - and avoid all the movies. Done and done. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Darth Drabek Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 One of my colleagues was telling me that in Breakfast of Champions, Vonnegut introduces each character by describing his member... length, girth, the whole shebang. I think I was too stunned at such an ... interesting take on exposition to ask the question I now pose to you, Obsidian literatti: Were there no females in this book? And if there were, how did he introduce them? baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

Yeah, that's not wholly true - he basically starts touching upon it halfway through; and as far as women are concerned, he details their measurements. My **** was three inches long and five inches in diameter. Its diameter was a world's record as far as I knew. It slumbered now in my Jockey Shorts. And I got out of the car to stretch my legs, which was another soign Edited April 14, 2007 by Baley
metadigital Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Kurt is up in heaven now. p.s. Cat's Cradle, metadigital. They only have Slaughterhouse Five in my local retarded Waterstones, which I peremptorily surveyed to find that it was a Catch-22 type novel, which caused my enthusiasm for it to wane considerably. (I was expecting them to have Mr Vonnegut's work on sale, to take advantage of the serendipitous marketing event.) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
metadigital Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I'm sure it isn't, but the stupid marketing twerps make a direct comparison on the dustjacket, which was v. dumb and made me hesitate to purchase it. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
