Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve just started this audiobook for #authoramonth @Soubhiville

#ThreeListThursday Just short stories because I have a different list for novellas! 1. Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut. 2. The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K LeGuin 3. There Will Come Soft Rains - Ray Bradbury

It's been a while! Currently finishing this book up. It's outlandish and perfect for my mind right now 👌🏻✌🏻

Reading Summer Wives and Palm Sunday was #joyful

Another thin month as I tackled The Dispossessed and then right in to the chunky Dune. With the coldest month underway it will be perfect dog-snuggling and reading wearer. #decemberwrapup

This is a collection of 25 short stories Vonnegut wrote between 1950 and 1968 so a few of them even predate his first novel, Cat‘s Cradle. Nothing surprising here, you have a lot of Vonnegut's cutting satire and dark humor on display and most of the stories are excellent and thought provoking, and you have a good mix of funny and melancholy. Hell, even the preface is a hoot! This was a nice escape while it lasted.

A great collection of stories that are so clever and remarkable, with such diversity in plots, characters, settings, and conflicts. Fun to read! Published in mid 20th century

We present here 7 books that will remain in our minds, because they touched us so much, changed us. No further comments!

@AryaWolf would you like to join in?

In high school, my now-husband, who I wasn't dating at the time, lent me this book because he wanted me to read it. I didn't and he ended up asking me to give it back. I didn't explain to him that I was a slow reader and that the reading for our honors English class was all I could handle. I just brought it back to school. Now, 20ish years later, I'm finally going to read it.

1. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Welcome to the Monkey House
2. Fast Friends by Jill Mansell (a lot of her covers have flowers on em)
3. Gerber Daisy, Sunflower, Spider Mum

And last, but certainly not least! The books! Thank you SO much @KatieDid927 for these titles! I have been wanting to read them all! I don't even know which one to read first! (But it'll probably be Vonnegut! 😉) I hope you enjoy your package as much as I do mine! Thank you again for everything!

1. 📖 Tagged. One of my favorite Vonnegut books.
2. 🎥 Poltergeist I don't know why, something about such a nice suburban house I guess.
3. 🎶 Our House - Madness

You know you don‘t need them,you read them years ago , yet you can‘t resist these British mass market covers so you buy them anyway.Thrift store finds.

I read this in high school a long time ago. I remembered the story, but not the title or author. I came across it by accident a few nights ago. Turns out it‘s by my literary hero, Kurt Vonnegut. Amazing.

Thanks for the recommendation @Trashcanman. I like what I've read so far. It's Vonnegut, so I figured I'd like it. 😃

The book re-organization progresses with Todd Cat's intense supervision. #catsoflitsy #litsykitty

If you want breathtaking short stories that pack a punch, look no further. Vonnegut's unique voice and endless imagination is perfectly displayed in my favorite volume of short stories ever, imagining our world in a terrifying yet intoxicating light. I don't have enough praise for this.

"I'm odd, I know," he said. "It's fear of myself that's made me odd."

Day 7 of the #RiotGrams challenge: well-loved reads! I am embarrassingly cautious with my books, so most of them don't even look like they've been read, let alone well-loved. So here's a cool old Vonnegut boxed set I've had for ages. ❤️📚😎

Love It

Please welcome - and follow - my friend @Jess7 who just joined Litsy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My first Vonnegut! This is for 1998 for my book for every year I have existed challenge. And Princess Unikitty says "Hello!!"

Finished reading this collection of short stories by Vonnegut and I found them rather enjoyable.

Books and their movie counterparts 📖🎥 As much as I love books, I love movies as well, so to find the best of both worlds is my pot at the end of the rainbow 😍

2016: The year I discovered my love for KV. ❣️❣️❣️ #wrapup2016

Some stories are 3⭐️, many are 5⭐️. Overall, this is an insanely good collection. Here are my favorites:

• Harrison Bergeron
• Welcome to the Monkey House
• Tom Edison's Shaggy Dog
• The Euphio Question
• EPICAC

Vonnegut always brings the satire, wit, and speculation. #keepingitshort

I'm about halfway through this collection. Insanely good so far! #shortstories #somethingforsept

I've read a lot of #shortstories collections over the years, but my first and still favorite is Welcome to the Monkey House. I remember trying to get everyone I knew to read this so I could have someone to talk to about it... with very little success. Thank goodness now I've got lovely littens to share my bookish obsessions! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

But ..... but, what's better than reading?? Get your heads out of the gutter. 🙃

Hi everyone! It's a happy day for me! My best friend just joined litsy. Show her some love!!

Another wild Friday night. 🍻 #booksandbrews #cheers

Great stories. Ugly cover. #uglycover #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

The 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Boxed Set. One of my absolute favorite thrift store finds. The impact of these books on my youth is incalculable. Love book shopping at the Salvation Army. #Recommendsday!

I can't stop reading this.

After the this week, seeking the solace of an old friend. Bliss.

My desert island book. There's something in here for everyone. Romance, dystopia, sci-fi, humor. This was my father's favorite book and is undoubtedly one of mine.
