The Sirens of Titan

Life. Don't talk to me about life. We all get a little Marvin-ish at times. But if we're going to talk about life — the whys and the wherefores and the whither-thou-goests — we might as well do it with a smile and an understanding that, perhaps, it really isn't so difficult to work out after all. Socrates famously told us that the unexamined life is not worth living. But in The Sirens of Ti…

Slaughterhouse-Five
