4.25

One of the most interesting books i’ve ever read. I loved the symbolism of Billy’s broken mind shown through the idea of ‘time travel’ aka scattered memories. A slow start but at the end I couldn't put it down! Amazing classic.

If what Billy Pilgrim learned from the Tralfamadorians is true, that we will all live forever, no matter how dead we may sometimes seem to be, I am not overjoyed. Still—if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I’m grateful that so many of those moments are nice.
