We may not brush our hair, change out of our pajamas, or sit down at the dining table, but we always make time to read.

God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian - Kurt Vonnegut
http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780743422000-0 - I was in the mood to read Vonnegut today, so I picked up this book - the only one currently on the shelves at the library. The premise: Vonnegut has hired Dr. Kevorkian to administer almost-lethal injections to him so that he may have repeated near-death experiences. During these injections, Vonnegut visits Heaven's gates where he conducts brief interviews with people who have died (both famous and not). The result is 90 second blurbs on a local radio show where Vonnegut rehashes his absurd conversations. This book can be read in about a 30 minute sitting, and is filled with silly turns of phrases and witty retorts. Totally weird, but definitely enjoyable.
