41. I Love You, Madame Librarian -- In These Times Article by Vonnegut praising librarians for resisting the Bush Administration s attempts to remove books they don t like and look through records, as well as how the US is now almost as feared and hated all over the world as the Nazis were. http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/print/i_love_you_madame_librarian/

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries. And still on the subject of books: Our daily sources of news, papers and TV, are now so craven, so unvigilant on behalf of the American people, so uninformative, that only in books can we find out what is really going on. I will cite an example: House of Bush, House of Saud

The Books of Bokonon From Cat's Cradle By Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Edited by Eugene Wallingford wallingf@cs.uni.edu Editor's Introduction In Cat's Cradle , Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., created a new religion, Bokononism. The holy scripture of Bokononism was the ever-growing "Books of Bokonon", written by Bokonon a British Episcopalian Negro from the island of Tobago whose real name was Lionel Boyd Johnson as a way to distract the people of San Lorenzo from their pitiful lives. What is sacred to Bokononists? Not God; just one thing: man. All material contained below was written by Kurt Vonnegut and scattered throughout Cat's Cradle wherever it best suited the novel.

Foto: Pericoli KURT VONNEGUT, som fyller 81 just i dag, håller en lektion om samtiden, förbryllade marsianer och sin nya bok Det måste kännas lite kusligt att vara student eller lärare på ett universitet som är så stort som det här, med alla dess bibliotek och laboratorier och föreläsningssalar, och samtidigt veta att det är beläget inom gränserna för en nation där visdom, förnuft, kunskap och sanning inte längre spelar någon roll. Jag inser att vissa av er kanske har kommit hit i hopp om att få några tips om hur man blir författare. Jag säger till er: "Om ni verkligen vill såra era föräldrar, och inte har mod nog att bli homosexuella, så är det minsta ni kan göra att ägna er åt konstnärlig verksamhet. Men använd inte semikolon. Semikolon är hermafroditiska transvestiter, de står inte för någonting överhuvudtaget. Det enda de visar är att ni har läst på universitet."

Cat's Cradle , one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it's still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you're young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut craze. Customer Reviews Amazing Book Before I say anything about the book, I have to say that I chose to read this book from a rather short list for a school project in Essay Writing. That being said, I loved the book.

He had two older siblings, a brother Bernard, and a sister Alice. Fourth-generation Germans, the Vonnegut children were raised with little, if any, knowledge about their German heritage - a legacy, Kurt believed, of the anti-German feelings vented during World War I. With America`s entry into the Great War on the side of the Allies, anything associated with Germany became suspect. The anti-German feeling so shamed Kurt`s parents, he noted, that they resolved to raise him "without acquainting me with the language or the literature or the music or the oral family histories which my ancestors had loved. They volunteered to make me ignorant and rootless as proof of their patriotism." His parents did pass on to their youngest child their love of joke-telling, but, with the world his parents loved shattered by World War I, Vonnegut also learned, as he put it, "a bone-deep sadness from them."
