On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point? Maybe it would be more fun to shrink for a change, and have a reunion of all the stuff back where it began. Then it could make a great big BANG again.

On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point?

It will shrink back to February 17th, 1991, but will then decide that expansion is the way to go, after all. As time marches on once more to 2001, though, Vonnegut and Trout and everybody else and everything else will have to do exactly what they did the first time through the decade, for good or ill: marry the wrong person, bet on the wrong horse.

一个临死老头的絮语，千头万绪的百衲衣。我能感觉到我还没到欣赏这部书的年纪。暂时无法评分。

整个书确实有闪亮之处，但问题是它们太不连贯了，完全是想到哪里算哪里，怪不得我第一次读时也不喜欢Vonnegut
