Logs of fire
breathing twice,
and at last
a death by ice.

Possibly his most brilliant novel---- and yet maybe one of the least fun to read... :?

Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"

Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.

LISTEN-
I've read alot of Vonnegut and I think the man is a genius. The Book of Bokonon mentioned in Cradle is among his fans' favorite creations. I do like Cradle even though it is not my favorite. I think it looks at the spirituality of religion the way that Altman's films looked at the politics of war... Through a lense of crystal-clear sobering insanity.

and so it goes.
