Anyone read Vonnegut's "Man without a Country"?

[Taverner]

I just read it twice in a row - what an amazing book, statement and work from the closest thing we have to a Mark Twain today.

2. Yes. I loved it.

Besides the essays in it, I think the Kafka drawing was my favorite thing in there.

3. Oh I know

I love those diagrams on how stories work. The hamlet one was interesting as well...

4. I saw him speak about--oh geez, almost 9 or 10 years ago now

I think--maybe less, I forget. Anyway, I saw him speak whenever it was that TimeQuake came out and he did the drawings then up on a chalkboard right after explaining how English Departments ruin "real writers."

I was literally in tears I was so happy to be there, especially when he jabbed the english department because some guy from the department had just wasted about 20 minutes doing one of those "a guy who needs no introduction" introduction speeches.

He's amazing. That's all there is to it.
