I thought I made this thread before but I guess not (correct me if I'm wrong). I see that I made fave beginnings. We need more posts in this subforum.
So, since I'm reading the book now so it's fresh in my mind, here's a current favourite. It's easy picking good parts from Vonnegut books though cuz they're all so good.
[Main character of
Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut making a list of the people he killed in 'Nam and girls he slept with.]
I told my lawyer about the two lists I am making. How can he help me if I don't tell him everything.
"Why are you making them?" he said.
"To speed things up on Judgement day," I said.
"I thought you were an Atheist," he said. He was hoping the Prosecuting Attorney wouldn't get wind of that.
"You never know," I said.
"I'm Jewish," he said.
"I know that, and I pity you," I said.
"Why do you pit me?" he said.
I said, "You're trying to get through life with only half a Bible. That's like trying to get from here to San Francisco with a road map that stops
at Dubuque, Iowa."
