Kurt Vonnegut is one of my Top 3 writers of all time actually.

His style is just over perfect and his imagination infinite
Rarely does the written word inspire such reactions from me

Yeah I like BoC a little better too but both are excellent works and the pinnacle of his oeuvre I think.

He's not for everyone I guess (who is?), although I would say he is quite easy to read and like, if you get his sense of humour.

I enjoyed Slaughterhouse Five too, as much as BoC I think. Vonnegut is funny, but the way he describes the realities of war (and PTSD?) is quite gripping and devastating I think.

I got a copy of a play by Racine with a translation next to the original French and I was happily surprised that I could read it with the translation's help (also is French grammar just richer than English grammar? It seems like English needs a lot of dead weight to say things for which there is a more elegant grammatical construction in French). So now I want to try reading some French, if jadis or anyone else has recommendations for easy books that'd be cool

I find this often happens. It shows one more page than there is, so as you say, no, you can't get to it because technically speaking it doesn't exist. Not until someone makes a post. Like you did. And now it's live.

Well it's 8 posts a page. But rather than have a page with one post, it seems to house a 9th post on a page until a 10th exists.

No idea why, and I'm sure there's a wonky html reason, but that's how it was back when I was a younger man. But I've never noticed it produces a new page number in the bottom right.

Never happened to me, but this thread is on page 249 for me so I guess I have different settings.

Yes, I've had that same experience: click on the last page number shown in that little row of boxes, and it throws you back to the previous page.
At first I thought it meant that someone was at that very moment posting or editing a message, but as it can stay that way for a long time, I rejected my theory although I had nothing to replace it with.
Currently reading Voodoo Histories, about conspiracy theories, I now realize that it is a glitch caused by the CIA/Mossad monitoring of MB.
