Why I'm reading this

I've never read Vonnegut and this book comes highly recommended (and gifted) by my neighbor.

My take

This was quite entertaining. Surreal in a way that makes you laugh at how Vonnegut writes this novel. It's 1 million years into the future and the narrator is telling about a sort of second Noah's ark where humankind starts over on the Galápagos Islands. Humankind's biggest problem at this point (in the 1980s) is that our brains are too big. A very funny story with intriguing twists and turns.
