The MLR Book Club suggestion for February is Fahrenheit 451. Leave first impressions here

Hated the ending. Why? It just felt kind of like Vonnegut ran out of things to say and decided to end it there.

Didn't love the incest.

Found the microscopic Chinese brilliant.

Loved the Dandelion 11 family thing.

I didn't laugh as much as a I thought I would for a book called Slapstick!

This is like the opposite of spoilers. I should go back and re-listen to this chapter cause I don't know what you're talking about

"I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say, 'Please a little less love and a little more decency.'"

Just going to add it's lines like this that endear me to KV. My parents often argued, so I put my nose in books and sort of tuned out the world.

KV seems to have a weird way of talking about humanity. Describing his siblings as "interchangeable parts" in the American machine in their Indianopolis town that's an interchangeable part i n the American dream.

I'm pretty excited to keep digging in.
