Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country (2005)

An 82-year-old man's rant on politics & life in general.

Some memorable quotes:

"First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

"If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts."

"The last thing I ever wanted was to be alive when the three most powerful people on the whole planet would be named Bush, Dick and Colon."

On cigarettes: "A fire at one end and a fool at the other."

"We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."

This book is in my personal library.
