"Just Slaughterhouse Five. I have Breakfast of Champions sitting in my book queue on my coffee table, so I should read that in the next few weeks."

Cat's Cradle. Yah gotta read it. It will turn you into a Bokononist.

You might have heard part of the theology of Bokononism.

I wanted all things
To seem to make some sense,
So we all could be happy, yes,
Instead of tense.
And I made up lies
So that they all fit nice,
And I made this sad world
A Par-a-dise.

Oh, a lion hunter in the jungle dark,
and a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park,
and a Chinese dentist and a British queen,
all fit together in the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice,
nice, nice, very nice,
nice, nice, very nice
such very different people in the same device.


Ambrosia set the words to music.
