herb,

i think he needs a great love...or a young songstress.
in time.

he loves star wars, harry potter and twilight.
recently, he got really into greek myths, so we speak the same language. besides the hitchhikers series, he really have not liked my collection.

a while back, i put 'friday' on his bookcase and he read some. did not really ask me any questions. that's the only from our generation he even spent time on.

paul

Kurt Vonnegut - Cat's Cradle

: v )

Might be a little to adult for the sprout. What would I know?

Venus On the Half Shell - definitely adult but maybe someday

I still think Vonnegut wrote it but he disavowed it many times.

Personally I think it's Vonnegut's best, along with Cat's Cradle.
Both philosophical, hilarious and scary at the same time.
