Title: Cat’s Cradle
Published: Sep. 8, 1998
After hearing Tim Ferriss recommend Cat’s Cradle multiple times on his podcast, I had to give this a try. I’m a big believer in reading fiction every once in awhile although my natural tendency is to read nonfiction. Vonnegut’s writing style is completely unorthodox and at times, a bit unusual. The satirical writing and hilarious character set will leave you laughing. If you’re looking to take a break from nonfiction, I’d recommend giving this a shot.
This is crazy because I just started reading Slaughter House Five…
Really unique/weird writing style right?
Extremely. And now I understand the characters in his Breakfast of Champions so much more and need to re-read that!
My dog’s name is Felix Hoenniker. True story.
That’s amazing! If I ever have a band, it will now be called “Ice Nine” although my fictitious band name frequently changes depending on what amazing real-life commentary I hear on a daily basis.
To my utter disappointment, that band name is already taken and they even have a Wikipedia page so they’re semi-legit:

Back to the drawing board.
