A literary orgasm...

[wanderingandre]

Ah, few things are more frustrating than finishing a truly great book and not having anyone to talk about it with. I suffered that fate when I finished "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut. As I was gripped by a nausea of sorts, convinced that one day we would lead ourselves down a similar trail of folly

It's nice to have someone to talk to but eventually you just want them to shut up and go away. That's why I like the web. "Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way."--Bokonon

Wonderful quote, makes me realize I need to have a notepad with me the next time I read Vonnegut, or at least a highlighter. His work is full of brilliantly quotable quotes. I should do the same next time I read Tom Robbins too.

So many books so little time.

I usually don't want people to shut up and go away, I'm quite an expert at letting whatever people are saying just drift past. I can space out like few others I've seen can.
