    Vonnegut and Herbert
    I just finished The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. I thought it was a brilliant novel. It was right up there with Vonnegut's best works such as Deadeye Dick, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-5, and Player Piano. I can never find the words to justify those of such a genius, but I will just leave you with the recommendation to read this novel about a man called Malachi Constant, a corrupt business man who doesn't know the beginning of what life is about until a prophet predicts a series of events that will change Constant's life forever. Currently I am reading Dune by Frank Herbert, which is turning out quite brilliantly.
