On to another music book. This one's a bit technical here and there bust mostly quite readable and enjoyable. And it's about my current music obsession! John Litweiler's Ornette Coleman; A Harmolodic Life

Just finished Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut, just awesome, have to get more of his stuff.
Reading Amerika by Franz Kafka now. Preface was about his life, sounds like he was one gifted dude who never wanted his work out there, but it got released once he died.Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?0 -

Anyway, just bought 3 more Vonnegut, Monkey house, Mr. Rosewater and Breakfast of Champs. Excited for them.

The main character is a good dude who's going to meet some good and bad persons on his way. It's all about the struggles of an immigrant on a new country. Unfortunately(?), the context is pretty much still the same everywhere, I guess. I'm a foreigner in the UK myself, so I can somehow relate to his journey. Not really, but some aspects of it could apply to some of my moments abroad. Kafka's writing is exquisite and always reminds me of that Gogol Bordello line from Immigraniada: In corridors full of tear gas / Our destinies jammed every day / Like deleted scenes from Kafka / Flushed down the bureaucratic drain.

Just finished this, on recommendation from this thread.
I liked it, by the end. I do admit to not loving the Cause And Effect (TNG!) type of storytelling when it comes to time travel stories but I stuck with it, and it paid off. (Much like Cause And Effect)
Good book!
