The Sirens of Titan

I’ve finally started reading again. It’s very exciting! I just looked at my bookshelf and noticed about 5 books that I’ve been meaning to get to. But I was also going through Ian’s books because that’s like having a whole new library to dig through. And they must be good because Ian already read them, right? Right..?
I read Slaughterhouse Five a few years ago when I started my reading kick and wanted to catch up on all the books that I thought I should have read before I graduated. I really liked it and was kind of glad I didn’t read it in school. Those books always seemed to lose their magic after a few weeks of analyzing them.
Ian recommended Cat’s Cradle to me last year when I was heading out with him to watch his 6-hour ultimate frisbee tournament. That was strange, but definitely in a good way. I enjoyed that immensely, but I’m a little disappointed with how little of it I remember now.
Last night, I finished The Sirens of Titan. Fantastic! I’ve been reading it before going to sleep every night for the past week or so and had started heading for bed earlier and earlier so I could get more reading in. Kind of reminded me of The Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Next book: The Five Minute Iliad, which I borrowed from Sonny ages ago. Maybe I’ll return it this weekend. Shouldn’t take long to read, right?
