Cat’s Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Crazy and amazing and a little devastating. Needless to say, I didn't expect the end, although it seems like it kind of fits with his worldview. Bokononism is pure genius.
I'm glad I finally got around to reading Vonnegut-- I always knew I was going to like his writing, but I kept not getting around to it. The library here has a bunch of his books (though I can't find [b:Slaughterhouse-Five|4981|Slaughterhouse-Five|Kurt Vonnegut|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1227252234s/4981.jpg|1683562], which is the one I really want to read).
