Siddartha by Herman Hesse. I really like it when he has his profound realization at the end of the book that all women are basically interchangeable. That and the cyclical nature of his son going off to get mad pussy and presumably keep the cycle going.
But that's all of us isn't? The sons of men who got pussy and then had to get jobs.

I couldn't read that. Specifically picked it up because it was short and I wanted to kill an afternoon. Ended up throwing it away.

I once read Vonnegut's Galapagos in one night, many years ago. I think it was pretty long, but I can't remember.. Wish I still had that same kind of focus and attention span.

I think the only people who liked it were me, the person who recommended it to me, and the lady behind the counter when I bought it who said "I love this book whenever I start it I always end up finishing it that day" everybody else hates it.
I liked Vonnegut when I read him, Galapagos was silly. I'm a weirdo though I think my favorite Vonnegut is slapstick. slaughterhouse five is boring! Kurt Vonnegut fell for Nazi propaganda about Dresden and made it every high school kid's problem. Slapstick has magic twins, a king of candlesticks, the Midwest gets to have the nobility it's always craved, Church of Jesus Christ the missing, Chinese so small you have to wear a mask or you'll inhale them. It's got everything you could want and a government assigned extended family to help you out when you need it.

I never read any more Vonnegut after that. He was a little too gross for me. The whole white semen on blue velvet fabric line was a bit much. It was a pretty funny book, even if it was a little too graphic and cynical for my tastes.

Yeah Vonnegut is kind of fleshy, he's not like Cormac McCarthy or Stephen king at the end of it but he doesn't shy away from cocks and whores. Breakfast of champions has every characters penis size whenever they're introduced for the first time, and he includes crude little drawings in most chapters. His picture of a butthole looked a lot like this *.

The one conspiracy theory book by William Cooper.
>Behold a pale horse
It was quite fun to read about what the 90s schizos thought about

more generic slop than you can imagine, i've read in a day. back when i was in and out of jail, i'd eat books whole. most of it garbage. many many 300 page books went down within a day, there was even a guard who would make fun of me because i always switched out books every night
>how many today, jack?

Literally none. I'm a slow reader, and anything that isn't a short story takes 8-10 hours.
