Re: So it goes...

Has anyone read A Man Without A Country - the book of essays that came out the other year? How does it compare to the novels? I think I'll give this a read now.

it's just like reading his novels really. recommended.

Great. I know how I'll be spending my afternoon

Kingsley Amis was a great friend of Philip Larkin, so I have a certain affection for the Amis family. Dunno why, the only book I've read by any of them (The Old Farts, I think it was called) I didn't really like

Experience by 'young' Marty is well worth reading. Might give you a bit of perspective on the relationship between Kingsley, Larkin and Martin Amis.

I just wish Martin Amis would have acknowledged the debt he owes to Vonnegut, is all.

Re: So it goes...

Oh! I thought Timequake was one of his best

It's funny how S5 is being called "an anti-war novel". I suspect a lot of the people doing the talking about Kurt in the media today haven't read it

Er, it is an anti-war novel.

Timequake was hilarious.

Breakfast of Champions accompanied me to Venice last month. Still brilliant.

when I moved to Leipzig in Germany a few years ago I had fuck all to do during the day so I worked my way through the english room in the library. When I reached Vonnegut it was like finding a pot of gold. I read all his books they had all great. tis sad but he had a good run so be it.

When I first started reading his stuff a few months ago, it was so good that I just presumed he was dead. Then I found out he wasn't and now I find out that he is. Wrecking my head.

I really loved Galapagos. I can't remember why. I can never remember books (or films for that matter) but I remember loving that and Sirens of Titan especially. Cool guy.
