First Book: Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut

A couple things before I get to the book.

My blog will not be spoiler free. I want to put my thoughts out there for others to see and comment on.

I will do one thing though. If there is a spoiler, (spoiler warning) will be in the post's title.

On to the book. . .

This is not my first Vonnegut book, but this is Vonnegut's first. I only read a couple of his books but before I read any more I wanted to start at his beginning.

I thought that it would be pretty cool to read through his novels in the order that he wrote them to see how he changed as an author. This is something I have not done before but seeing how I like Vonnegut's style in a couple other books I'm giving it a shot.

As a read through a book, I may start blogging about what I have read so far and then when finished I will recap all my thoughts.

I would like anyone to leave comments and let me know what they thought as well.

Twelve A Year

Every month I am going to read a new book and this is where I will discuss it.

This is something new I am going to be trying.  I know twelve is a very low number compared to some avid readers but it is something I feel I can accomplish with the amount of time I have to put into this.  I am a college student and work four days a week during the school year so needless to say my reading for pleasure has taken a slump.

So please follow along and I hope you will enjoy my blog.

We'll see where this ends up.
