Very seldom I read a book so good that I don't want to finish it. I keep leaving it here when I go somewhere, on purpose, so that it lasts... When I really love a book, I devour it; which is something unusual, these days, but it does still happen sometimes. Yet this one I treat like a bag of rare delicacies come from an exotic country across the world and I want it to last.
"The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th and the 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General".
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
