“We all cling to something,” I said. “To the wrong things—“ he said, “and we start clinging too late. I will tell you the one thing I really believe out of all the things there are to believe(…) All people are insane(…) They will do anything at any time, and God help anybody who looks for reasons.”

Probably a 4.5. I feel a little dumb for having waited so long to read Vonnegut, but I'm glad I started with this one.

I guess my only reading plan for the year is probably reading all of my amazing Vonneguts!
