Yannick Sage thefuckinsage — Most of the stories here are from Vonnegut's early writing days. I expected them to be darker, more cynical, and just as zany as his novels are. I'm a huge Vonnegut fan and couldn't wait to see what he was writing before he was, well, Vonnegut. Most of them are actually quite funny, in their own way, and even manage to be touching in a way that his novels (good as they are) never quite manage to be. While some of them weren't quite to my taste, they are all important just for the sake of preserving some of Vonnegut's early writing. My favorites: "Tom Edison's Shaggy Dog", which details the surprising secret behind Edison's success. "The Hyannis Port Story", a tribute to JFK. My favorite: "The Manned Missiles", about Cold War tensions and the Space Race told from the points of view of two fathers (one Russian, one American) telling each other about their sons who both died tragically in space. "EPICAC" and "Adam" were also two of my favorites: short, sweet, and wonderfully deep.

Nicolas Roger _icolas_rgr — This book is very different from the others because it is not really about anyone at the Elm Creek Manor. However, it is about the birds in air quilt that Sylvia acquired form A guest at the quilt camp that was sure that it was conencted to the manor and Sylv1a's family (Run Away Quilt). As it turns out it is the story of Joanna- the first slave that the Bergstroms took into their underground railroad station. The book is heart wrenching. If you have read books about slavery you can visualize the atrocities. 15 years ago I spent almost a month traveling the vilages of Senegal, West Africa and my travels brought me to Gori Island (one of the key locations where the slave trade began). While walking through the cells... standing in the "bye bye door" and hearing from the overseer how mothers would throw their infants into the sea instead of bringing onto the slave ships...I could almost feel their dispair- their fear of all the people that were dragged to a destiny they did not want. AND... sadly it reminds me how people make the same mistake over and over all of the world. Do we never learn??? As I read about Joanna's plight, I think of all the men- women- children whose only goal was to "keep on breathin' until they found freedom."
