Week Six, Book Seven

Okay, so this week aside from the Book Club meeting of Lipstick Jihad, I still felt obligated to read an additional book in order to meet my quota of "one book a week". I chose A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut http://www.vonnegut.com/ and was very satisfied in my selection. Vonnegut has been my favorite author for quite some time now and I am rarely disappointed.

Review: I have to say that it was a fast read that took me one day and a half to finish with ease, but left me thinking about it for hours afterwards. I loved the illustrations http://www.vonnegutweb.com/ by the author and quotes in the beginning of each chapter. If you are a fan of politics, current events and humor, then this is a fun and frightening book to tackle. Not my favorite Vonnegut book to date, but I really doubt there will be any new books in the future. I suggest if you really want to read something great, then try Timequake.
