Bumping this thread because oh man I just finished Sirens of Titan. I always forget that books make me cry, I'm bloody hopeless. For the guts of it, it was super-nihilistic (deterministic?) in that time-traveller-infested causal-loopery-fuckery thing Vonnegut does.
I suppose the other main message was "even if your whole destiny is controlled from on high, or hell even if it utterly isn't, staging a silent protest against the world and refusing to engage in any of it isn't worth it."
Which, while phrased exceptionally poorly by me, is still the kind of message that slaps someone like me in the face.
Lovely read sped along by snappy writing, would recommend.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
