37, 38, & 39

#37 The Iliad by Homer

#38 The Aeneid by Virgil

#39 Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut



Done, done, DONE with epics, so done, I'm not going to bother to write about what I thought of them... come to think of it, that says a lot in itself.



Breakfast of Champions was amazing. I never expect less with a vonnegut novel and I have yet to be disappointed. Stylistically, it is the same as any of his other novels, but the narrative is anything but conventional. Here, the novels narrator is the novelist, who is a character in the book as well, actively shaping the events. Besides that, the normal eccentricity that exists in Vonnegut's work is here, perhaps in full force. I love this book.
