Entry One:Thursday, August 25, 2011. Hey it's me Spencer, and I picked my new book for english. I decided to pick "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut. I picked this book because I heard the author writes very interesting and funny things and I want to give him a try. So I will start reading this and let you know what I think of it

Entry Two: Thursday, September 1, 2011. Hey its me again. I read about 10 chapters in "Cat's Cradle" because the chapters are very short, anyways I read a little of the book and and I like it so far. I really like how Vonnegut just doesn't care about religion at all and makes fun of it. And I find Vonnegut's humour does indeed tickle my fancy. I like the book so far and plan on staying with it.

Entry Three:Monday, September 12, 2011. Hey it's Spencer again and I read to chapter 31 on page 64. So the book is about Kurt Vonnegut making fun of basically everything. He has his own fake religion and makes fun of how we make nuclear weapons and how we do things that don't really have a point to them. He believes that everything we do should have a purpose. The book is still funny and I'm going to keep reading it.

Entry Four: Friday, September 16, 2011. Hello, it's me again with more Cat's Cradle. I read to chapter 47 on page 100. So what happened is the Crosbys informed John that the State Department once fired Horlick for not taking a hard line against Communism. John returned to his seat and asked about the firing. Claire explained that Horlick was fired because she wrote a letter from Pakistan to the // New York Times // expressing dismay that Americans simply couldn't imagine being anything other than American. It's still very funny and interesting and I'm going to keep reading.

I was wondering maybe in the future we could do vlogs? I think that would be a very fun way to talk about our books because I'm a very big fan of Youtube and that way we could talk about the books, leave comments, do video responses and I think it could be a lot of fun. Please discuss this because I want to know what Mrs. Olson thinks about this and the other kids in this class.

Entry Five, September 23, 2011. Hey it's Spencer again and I just realized this book was supposed to be back 2 weeks ago....oops. Anyways I did a lot of reading and finished the book and overall, I thought the book was really good and really funny and I would recommend it to people who like funny books with very dark humor and that make fun of a lot of stuff.
