Reading

I just noticed that the book I started reading, Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut, is stamped on the side "Hamilton County Jail Library Property." That means at least one murderer has probably touched this book before. Hooray!

Here are some Vonnegut quotes from Hocus Pocus that I found interesting:
Unlike my Socialist grandfather Ben Willis, who was a nobody, I have no reforms to propose. I think any form of government, not just Capitalism, is whatever the people who have all our money, drunk or sober, sane or insane, decide to do today.

'At least we still have freedom of speech,' I said.
And she said, 'That isn't something somebody else gives you. That's something you have to give yourself.'
