Deals with similar themes from a different perspective. Short book. Starts out a bit tedious but compensates for it towards the end. | ||

Siren's was just a bit to silly to be taken seriously as a satire (which sounds ridiculous - it's kin d of Hitch Hicker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Catch-22), also Galapagos represents the pinnacle of Vonnegut's writing style and sense of irony. | ||

I also just read Man's Search for Meaning by VIctor Frankl for school within the last 2 weeks or so. | ||

I would say pick based on which culture you are most interested in learning something about Thanks for the info! I'll probably end up reading Bless Me, Ultima because it appears well acclaimed and renown. Unless someone else has a passionate suggestion haha | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/Resources/titles/80140100837460/Images/80140100837460L.jpg) Has a couple classic essays by Foucault, including the one where he says "one day, perhaps, this century will be called Deleuzian." I found the interviews with Foucault in the last section the most interesting. ![[image loading]](http://i43.tower.com/images/mm100130750/plague-fantasies-slavoj-zizek-paperback-cover-art.jpg) | ||
