College assignment research. Pretty good actually
And how will you inquire into a thing when you are wholly ignorant of what it is? Even if you happen to bump right into it, how will you know it is the thing you didn't know?

I found them very enjoyable.

Cat's Cradle is superb. My favourite of the Vonnegut I've read. I'm currently reading Slaughterhouse 5. So far, so good.

Much prefer older covers to the glossy crap they put out nowadays. Should never judge a book by its cover, as the saying goes, but whoever said that definitely underestimated the appeal of a good cover.

Slaughter House 5 is a good one.

Thanks for the link - I always find that site, waste an hour or so and then forget about it.

I have this fantasy of making a living designing cool book covers.

Reading this as well, its good but getting annoyed by the blatant product placement in it.

also reading this one, my dad got it for me for xmas. started off a bit cynical about it cos its all about 1920s society, but actually i quite like his style of writing, draws you into the story even though I don't particularly find myself caring about the characters too much.

Good once you get into the good stuff, i found it quite long and tedious at the start but once it starts getting good you're hooked! I watched the original film after, good film too.

Half way through it, brilliant so far if you like Partridge!
