never in my life have i read such a book. i want to laugh and cry and just live my silly little life. thanks bokonon for that shoutout “the hand that stocks the drug stores rules the world” 
adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

No damn cat, no damn cradle!

"so life became a work of art"pg.144 --giving meaning to islanders--
"and we all vied, in saving face, to be the greatest student of human nature, the person with the quickest sense of humor" pg.158
"the cruel paradox of Bokononist thought, the heartbreaking necessity of lying about reality, and the heartbreaking impossibility of lying about it" p. 229

This is a reread for me. I'm a huge fan of Vonnegut and, despite its datedness and flaws, I still love this book as much as I did the first time I read it. I am, indeed, terribly biased.
