Man Without a Country & Zodiac

I finished two other polos recently. They were ok but I don't really
recommend them.

Man Without A Country - Kurt Vonnegut
This was mostly Kurt rambling about life, the universe, and the Bush
administration. There are some funny parts but it's mostly things you
already know like, americans are raping the planet and don't seem to
care, told to you very eloquently.

Zodiac - Neal Stephenson
Not his best work. All of Stephenson's protagonists are badasses, but
this kind of reads like, "and then he took speed instead of sleeping,
and then he figured out everything that was a mystery up until now,
and then some people tried to kill him so he tried to kill them back,
and then he took acid instead of sleeping, and then he figured out
everything else that was a mystery up until now, and then the book
ended and you were glad."
