20th century violence and trauma tells us a lot about what to expect this century. Billy Pilgrim and his acquaintances are great foils for how we internalize violence and put it on the people around us. Even indifference can hurt the people around you

This is the greatest book ever, facts! That's why I have a sleeve tattoo of this. i've read it a million times, but this is the first time high and it was a whole new experience. I saw whole new lines of thoughts, understood the PTSD angle and just loved it so much. 

I’m probably not literary enough for this book. I was more interested in the overall message and reading about the book rather than reading the book itself.

This book sure did a number on my 18 year old brain. Still wound up in the Army though…
