30. Read some Kurt Vonnegut

Another literary one!

I'm not sure why I picked this one. I know I need to read more. I don't read nearly enough. I know not a lot of people read any more, but I thought this is good literature and I could knock it out in a day or two.

I read Cat's Cradle.

I chose that book because they talked about it in the movie, The Recruit. I never would have heard of it otherwise.

Also, I know everyone who reads Kurt Vonnegut reads, Slaughterhouse Five. I wanted to read something different.

However, because I'm lazy, I, "read," it on Audible.

It was pretty good. I think I have greater expectations for literature and I'm disappointed more often than not.

Reading the D&D books is easy and they're fun and rarely very heady. It's easy to be pleasantly surprised when they're good.

Walking into literature creates expectations that tend to get shot down quickly.

There might be a life lesson there.
