"You were sick, but now you're well, and there is work to do." Just finished Vonnegut's Timequake. I really enjoyed it, made me laugh quite a bit, and even tear up at stops. Vonnegut says that having an extended family is extremely important, and certianly he view humor as something to be valued as well. It's amusing to read the writing of an author talking to and about his alter-ego, who has definatley taken on a life of his own. Who could deny the wisdom of Kilgore Trout, a war veteran who has spent much of his life on the streets, writing science fiction short stories that he usually throws in the trash. Trout see and understands the timequake for what is it, a replay, and when free will kicks in again. He had an idea as to what needs to be done. The world is shaken with Post Timequake Apathy, but it's over, 'you where sick, but now your well, and there is work to be done.' Well I should get back to work.
