God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've always been a huge fan of Vonnegut, ever since reading Cat's Cradle in elementary school. Each time I read a book of his, it reaffirms my love for his style. This book flows so nicely and kept me curious as to how it would end, all the way until I reached it. I will be sad when the day comes when I've read all his novels and there are no more to follow...

Favorite Book Quotes

And it is time for one of those age old questions... What is your favorite book quote of all time and why?

Me? I have two and could never choose between them.

The first is by Stephen King and it has always made me laugh because I've felt the truth of it many times since first reading it almost 20 years ago. He actually uses the line in two different books of his. Of course, I can't remember which the first one was (I was only ten when I read it the first time) but the second was Salem's Lot.

"There is no such thing as gravity. The Earth just sucks." - Stephen King

The second is by Kurt Vonnegut and is very dear to me. I read this line in The Sirens of Titan a few years back and I couldn't help but feel the power behind the words...

"The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody would be to not be used for anything by anybody." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
