Already read chapter 6, bit of a nothing chapter tbh but I think Drek was right in that all timelines will climax in Dresden.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Having just finished the book I'll echo D'rek: I don't get it.
This is the famous sci-fi novel that Vonnegut is probably most famous for?
The book has no real middle or end. Stuff just happens and things are implied.
I wonder if this is a generational thing. If you'd read this in the 60-70ss would it have more meaning?

I feel the same. I did enjoy reading it although can't quite put my finger on why.

Finally read this in the car yesterday.
At first I didn't like it, but once I started getting it I loved it.
It's depressing as fuck on one level but as a window into PTSD it fucking marvellous.
Maybe I'm being a pretensious arse thinking I've figured it out,but that's what I took from it

It definitely seems like the time travel is related to the author/storytellers sanity, I just don't dig the way it's structured. You could pull out the alien stuff and the book would go from Sci-fi to comedy drama, which would be more digestible.

I get that angle yah, but it worked for me in a way the disconnect didn't quite as well for 84k.
It felt like a more natural drift off, like you've felt yourself drift off into memories and/or Laa Laa land before only to be jolted back to the present. It really sold that well to me
