Kylan Dixon, audiobooks are all well and good, but you should read yourself for a better experience; applying your own voices, your own pauses, and your own style of speech to a character can change the entire book for the better.
Ngl I LOVE the time travel metaphor for PTSD. It almost feels like a way you could find other people with PTSD yk? Just say, "I am a time traveler" because that's honestly what it feels like.
Never been in the military, but I’ve known plenty of veterans. I couldn’t agree more, it’s a beautifully simple metaphor. Ironically enough, the one vet I’ve met who has actually read this book as well, almost dodge that part entirely. Wish those guys had a better support system.
reading this as a upcoming sophomore in high school, I could say that this book has everyone screwed over. now I see why I'm the only one who volunteered to read it.
Alright, said I wouldn't analyze, but I take it back - I wouldn't mind trying to chart out every time Billy changes time to see if there's a consistent trigger. (I also appreciate the dunking on free will last chapter. I was like, oh no, wait, are they going to spend a chapter talking about this? Nope! Acknowledged it, said no, moved on.)
Additionally - the soap/candle thing is, as far as I can tell from articles like Joachim Neander's in JSTOR, a myth (with a basis in a specific circumstance but not a widespread practice). Instead an article on the jewish virtual library alludes to "everything else" that's "worse" and I'm not able to read any further on that one today, sorry.
I do find it interesting about the repetition of the tennis teacher's future death in so many moments that he's alive. The Tralfamadorians said that, because someone once was alive, they still are alive (in the past). But Billy has jerked us to the completely opposite direction - because someone will die in the future, they are already dead.
WAIT 39 MINUTES, THE BABIES DIDN'T GET A "SO IT GOES"??? the DEAD WATER and the PRETEND COWBOY BEING SHOT got one, the bugs got one, but not the babies?????
Honestly I'm trying so hard not to Analyze because it's like trying to edit as you write something. Might as well, if it's something easy. But if it's complex you're wasting your time
No need ti “talk about” free will. Simply give attention to your own thoughts and where they “come from.” You will easily see they don’t “come from” anywhere or any “one.” You will see directly that you are being lived.
A pleasant voice to listen to. Getting two classes done at once listening to this in the background of my studio work. Thanks for helping me keep up with these busy weeks!
this... book... was fascinating... *nerd voice* but... I believe that my ears have died.... so it goes... but it really did make me laugh... im sorry but the randomness of Kurt Vonnegut has me on the floor LOLing

It’s a great description of the book itself

I read this book when I was about 11 for a school book report. I liked it then. I like it even more as an adult, so it goes.
Michael Richmond so it goes? Did someone die?
Somewhere, yes.
11...dang
Me lo! I'll love Kurt Vonnegut as long as I live.
Good grief you must have been a child prodigy
i feel like im supposed to like this book but i don’t but i think i don’t like it because I’m forced to read it.. thank god for these audio books

I love having an audiobook on RUclips, it’s so fun to look at the comments and see everyone else having read the same thing as me
I love this book and I have no idea why because its fucked up but between Vonnegut's storytelling and your voice it is fantastic
