"Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time" och jag gillar det, mycket. Jag älskar den här bokens tankar om tid och hur vi människor upplever den.
"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funderal. All moments, past, present, future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a strech of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever."
215 sidor magi. Språket, tonen, karaktärerna, namnen, tankarna och humorn. Har ni inte läst Slaughterhouse 5, gör det! Unna er själva att fundera lite. Bokklubb - kanske det bästa någonsin!
Nu börjar jag smygläsa Steppenwolf, boken jag inte läst för att jag tror att den handlar om vargar. Vem vet, kanske gör den det? Först valar, sen vargar.
