But remembering the future is 's play for me now. I know what will become of my helpless, trusting babies because they are grown-ups now. I know how my close friends will end up because so many of them are retired or dead now. Mary O'Hare is a widow now. I know what will happen to a divided Germany and to a monolithic Sovet Union because one has been reunited and the other has fallen to pieces now, and on and on. To Stephen Hawking and all others than myself I say, "Be patient. Your future will soon come to you and lie down at your feet like a who knows and loves you no matter what you are." ~ From the Preface to the 25th Anniversary Edition of "Slaughterhouse Five" By Kurt Vonnegut. -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, OR THE 'S CRUSADE -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- .........Being a Huge Fan of the printed word, It's always Nice to be able to Curl Up with a Good ,.....Whether it's Fiction or Non, Literature, Journalism, History, Biography, or Poetry.

It's refreshing to actually find a hot as sin (yes that was on purpose) guy with a brain that actually enjoys reading. I know exercise and being in shape is important (well round for me is a shape haha but this is not entirely all my fault and hopefully the next few years will help out since things are changing) but most guys like you appearance-wise are content to be all about looks and can't be bothered with books. You are a definitely a rare one. I sent an Angel to watch over you last night, it returned in a hurry. I asked why, it said "Angels can't watch porn." Thanks for fucking traumatizing my fucking Angel! Don't bother trying to figure me out. Not even the little voices in my head understand me. It's pointless!

I have to admit that I have to be in the mood to read a book. It tends to come and go but once I start to read a book I have trouble putting it down. The last novel I started, I read it in 24 hours. I curled up on the lounge with it and read all day then took it to bed with the intention of just finishing the chapter but I just couldn't put it down and I finished it at about 5.30am. Linda xxx

I read that book, but it was sooooo long ago had forgotten the details. Tell you a secret? A guy who's a reader is the sexiest thing for me...

Love this book! Especially Billy Pilgrim! In a certain degree, he was able to regain control of his own dignity that he lacked throughout his entire life by awaiting his own death calmly and without fear.

For someone who reads a lot... that's one book I've overlooked, thanks for the rec but you know I'm going to have to hold you... personally responsible if I don't like it... or even if I do! And in return, I give you Andrew Vachss. If you haven't read him already, especially his Burke series. He's easy to find online... he does a lot of good things for kids, and he's got an eyepatch! Arrr Happy Humpday!
