>>	Anonymous Fri May 12 18:19:55 2017 No.9499060 >>9498992 Well, usually when anything is famous there tends to be at least one shithead that goes around calling anyone who likes it a pleb. At least, that's what i've noticed on most other boards. Maybe /lit/ is different.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 12 18:22:10 2017 No.9499064 >>9499060 That is true, but not when it's a part of the canon. no one would shit on anyone on /tv/ for liking Stalker (maybe a bad example), or anyone on /a/ for liking EVA.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 12 18:22:13 2017 No.9499065 >>9499056 I have only read "Cat's Cradle" and "Breakfast of Champions" from Vonnegut but I thought they were both pretty smart and funny. I would recommend it if you like Vonnegut's satirical commentary.
