Why does everyone on here think of this book as onions and reddit?
>>
>>23321245
Shit not onions I meant to write "onions"
>>
>newfag
/lit/ doesn't read, they judge books through their ideology and who they think reads an author.
>>
I read this book, and I liked it. Dunno what you want me to say about it.
>>
>>23321245
i haven’t really seen that here frankly
it’s pretty respected, and with good reason
one of the most important postwar books of america
though i prefer breakfast of champions and bluebeard personally

40% read. The other 60% are tourists like you who spam the same dogshit and leave. You only need to look at the
>current book
>what did you think about it
threads to know how many people were actually reading. Before the jannies removed the poster count there were around 60 people on average in every thread.

>>23321245
I don't think I heard anyone on this board call this book Reddit though. Granted, it's rarely discussed.
>>
>>23321342
>40% read
If that was the case we would have a solid amount of discussion.

I think it’s pretty good but I think Vonnegut’s influence on the culture had a lot of consequences that people would consider reddit or onions. Think Douglas Adams or Rick and Morty
>>
>>23321353
How???
>>
>>23321359
Read chapter 1 and tell me that it doesn’t sound familiar
>>
>>23321359
All I can think of is most every ~20 year old who reads him goes through an irritating phase of saying "so it goes." I don't see much influence from Vonnegut on culture.
>>
>>23321245
Read it in highschool and thought it was fine. Rereading it now a decade later, I still think it's fine. I don't really get the hype, it just feels kinda fatalistic.
>>
>>23321308
it's true, everytime some faggot tries to "criticize" nietzsche they always come up with BAP talking points and never shit nietzsche himself ever said. His true ideas are too non-partisan for the smoothbrained

Vonnegut was Geraldo's father-in-law. Here's a picture of the two of them hanging out with Henry Kissinger.

Roland Weary did nothing wrong.

Eh, well I wouldn't consider it a classic. A good 3.5/5, but no more. An ironically heavy lean on propaganda for a book that pretends to be so above war and lies. Listen: You don't fight back against lies by making your own, and you don't "prove" ideas wrong by creating fictional scenarios, propping up historical figures like characters in a play, and forcing them to say obviously silly things. The commentary Vonnegut had on Christianity was especially laughable.
>>
Why would a book about an allied war crime be reddit? They love the fairytale version of ww2.
>>
>>23321247
10/10 made me laugh soiboi
>>
>>23321245
You just made that up. Not only that book is regarded as a good book on /lit/, but its also on the /lit/ starter pack from the sticky.

>haha goofy wacky aliens watchin u hav SEX!! xD
>also nothing matters!!
This shit is basically just proto-Rick and Morty. I don't even particularly dislike Vonnegut or this book, but you can't really deny that that's what it is.

vonnegut is too humane, too compassionate, too normal for the perpetually frustrated, sex starved, socially phobic reactionary miscreants on here
>>
>>23322847
Faux-humanity, faux-compassion and a typically perverted reddit atheist banana shoving mind.
