Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

I have already read one book by Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughter House 5, and i loved it. I really enjoy reading his books. In this book, I noticed that he brings back a familiar character, Kilgore Trout,but instead of being a weird side character, he is now the main character. I also enjoy looking at all of the picture Vonnegut drew in his book to help illustrate his point. I really like this book so far and look forward to reading it in the near future.

Slaughter-House Five bu Kurt Vonnegut

I have fallen in love with this book. It gives insight on all the negatives of war, and as the little bird said, "Poo-tee-weet", only showing that there is nothing good to say about war. Each paragraph of this book are different moments of time. According to the main character, Billy Pilgrim, who by the way is also the narrator, all of life is based on time, but in the fourth dimension, according to the Tralfamadorians or aliens, is where time flows continuously, repeatedly, and backwards, all at the same time. The Tralfamadorians also speak ofwhat we know as free will. To them this idea does not exist but it is a force that counters our free will when we want to getsomething done.
One othe the true themes of this book is death. Death is in every point in this book and is even announed by when Pilgrim says, "So it goes", to all mentions, thus making them equal. This pointsout howinevitable death is but only the Tralfamadorians are theonly ones who can make it sound good, "You can die at any moment, but you are aliove for allother moments of your life".

First Quarter Look Back

After reading over my blogs for the first quarter I realized that i really enjoy books, even if it takes me a while to read them. I personally like reading adventure books about outlandish place and people but for the first quarter, to get them out of the way, I read books that I really do enjoy reading that much but interest me in a way. Now-a-days i don't get to read as much as I used to because I am always studying and doing my school work, but as the day goes on I find myself reading a little bit each day. I have started to look at the bigger picture of the books i read and that is a good improvement. My reading goal for this next quarter is to read at least three (3) books. I really want to get back into reading again and I hope this goal helps.
