He is a big retard and if you can't tell he's a big retard, then you have a lot of work to do.
He's pretty lame, I just wish he wasn't so fucking proud of himself for it. It's the same thing I see in the autism community. I mean, there's a lot of retarded people who think they're pretty fucking cool. They go out of their way to brag about how clever they are on everything and they're never met with anyone who disagrees. It's kind of hilarious, but also kind of sad.

Siren's of Titan is my favorite by him, I really like his other stuff too

I enjoyed Cat's Cradle a lot. Breakfast of Champions was okay too. I read a couple short stories too but I don't remember them all that well. Slaughterhouse Five is probably the best out of all the English-language Celine ripoffs; he doesn't try to hide it which is nice and the sci-fi parts are original enough to make it his own. I also like how it's about Dresden because it makes a lot of anglos squirm and we deserve it sometimes.

The mininal postmodernism slash wacky potty humor gimmick appeals to me, especially since I picked him up as an adult so I don't associate him with high school.
