I sometimes forget how much I like an author if it has been a long time since I read anything by him (or her). This is what is happening to me now. I put off starting book #340, Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, and I have no idea why. Probably because it has been years since I read Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-Five. He is so funny and I can't put the book down. Now I remember why my husband likes Vonnegut so much.
(In case you don't know, the phrase "So it goes" is repeated several times in Slaughterhouse-Five. My husband got this tattoo because he is a big Vonnegut fan and he said it represents his apathy toward the world.)
