Just finished book two of #DeathGateCycle. Didn't remember anything about this particular book (read it about 25 years ago), but it seems not to have aged as well. Or I'm just a more particular reader then I used to be. #SFF #FantasyBooks

Starter in #SlaughterhouseFive. Wow. Just wow.

And then I was reading five #books. Maybe I should finish one of them soon. Before I get the urge to reread #WheelOfTime. Which is likely soon.

And maybe not the one that's part one of a seven part series. #DeathgateCycle #DragonWing

The others: #SlaughterhouseFive, #Quintilianus, a Dutch language philosophy primer and #MinistryForTheFuture.

Anybody can relate?

#KurtVonnegut described a somewhat similar idea with the Tralfmadorians in #slaughterhousefive which is why it's one of my all-time favorite books. #physics #bookstodon

I'd like to discuss #Postmodernism with someone. I'm trying to figure out what I think about it. #InfiniteJest, #GravitysRainbow, #SlaughterhouseFive are among my favorite books, if that means anything.
A lot of these descriptions fit me:
"epistemological relativism, moral relativism, pluralism, irony, irreverence, and eclecticism." I think those are good traits, but I have a creeping sense that something is missing...
Maybe I am a #Postmodernist who is slowly inching toward something else?

It was the next two months would get a free
Trip for himself in this way. You know who
I could just kill. And so on. Father she
Said what are you. So it goes. Are are you.

Years old back then. He told the boy about

A man in it. The four guards went inside.
The war would end in may. The wedding night.
Dread told him when to stop. Dread told him when
To move again. It didn't make a pop.

She doesn't know yet I said. I don't know
And I say search me. What did his wife say.
My boss there was a baby. Time to go.
And so on. It just happened. One time They
Were teaching that still. There were carp in there
And we would go. Give her the news and see
What she says. So I did. I wrote the air

You must have secrets. Please leave this latrine.
Was he scared. Was it awful. Billy tried
To talk about. It would sound like a dream
Said Billy. He was sort of glassy eyed.
Do you know that. Did he say anything.
Then he put it away again without
A word of thanks. Was he scared. Everything
But his brains. Do you ever think about.
That was I. Would …

A friend in the war.

The little girls with me. I wrote the air
Force back then. Time to go. She was polite
But chilly. Time to go. I asked O'Hare
I really was. I wasn't much to write
A book about it. There were carp in there
And we would go. That was about the night.
That was about. You were just babies then.
So then I understood. When we saw them.
