![[image loading]](http://nighthawknews.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/catscradle.jpg) I just finished reading this a 2nd time (1st time I read it was like 3 years ago). such a great funny book that tackles so many issues about human life and the meaninglessness of it all. I think it spoke to me personally and the sort of things I've been going through/thinking about lately a lot more than the 1st time I read it. It was almost like reading a different book lol. Bokonon is such a great character. Vonnegut is so great, such a shame that I didn't even hear of him until after he died  | ||

 my god, its no wonder that they got the award for best sci-fi series ever, they are fucking amazing. also as i read them ive noticed many names in pop culture i didnt realize were references to the books. for example the book talks about a robot named bender, a planet called terminus (although that planet is nothing like the map, there is a city called trantor that is), imperial fucking battlecruisers, and all sorts of craziness. seriously one of the best series ive ever read. im currently on the prelude after reading the original book | ||

It's definitely helped me read more efficiently. ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iCq4TlCsL._SL500_AA266_PIkin3,BottomRight,-22,34_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg) Definitely a must read for any living person that intends to ever deal with people ever. The book is way more educational than the cheesy title implies. I've always been pretty comfortable with people, but this book's really fine tuned some stuff I would've probably never been aware of. I definitely recommend it! =D Reading: ![[image loading]](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0262513951.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) Scientists research on effortless attention (aka "flow"), trying to figure it out. It's super interesting! I've learned a butt ton from this book already, and I'm not even a quarter of the way through it! Definitely recommend it if you're interested in Cognitive Neuroscience stuff, or performance and attention in general. A warning though, it's written by scientists, for scientists. Don't expect to be babied through it. It's all dry, straight cut data from researches. Self motivation is a must. =D | ||

![[image loading]](http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/02/26/20080226_where_does_money_go_18.jpg) I found it to be a pretty good but basic overview of the debate surrounding the current debt problems that the US government is having. The authors view the current debt and trends as a massive unsustainable problem for the future and all their points are to how to fix it reasonably. Most of their fixes, and most of the book consequently, involved both medicare and social security. | ||

Cat's Cradle is a remonstrance of meaninglessness, not an endorsement. Top five Vonnegut books: 1: Cat's Cradle 2: Mother Night 3: Slaughterhouse-Five 4: Galapagos 5: God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater Breakfast of Champions misses out for being good only the first time through and lacking the satire of American-ness it is purported to have that God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater ably plies. | ||
