Next up: God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Quote:
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

Description
The main question the novel asks is this: "How do we love people with no use?"

While Vonnegut takes less of a sci-fi turn in this novel, he remains firmly grounded in the humanist ideas that define his career. GBYMR also includes the first appearances of the firebombing of Dresden and Kilgore trout, and references and wry nods to many of his other works. Fans of intertextuality, rejoice!
