If This Isn’t Nice, What Is?: Advice for the Young by Kurt Vonnegut
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a great little collection of Vonnegut’s speeches, and the audiobook is well read — the reader hasn’t got the gravel of Vonnegut’s voice, but it also removes some of the alarm you might have felt if the ghost of Kurt Vonnegut were actually reading it.
Like watching a good stand-up comic’s every YouTube video, you’ll find a lot of repetition of the things, the material that Vonnegut really cared about, but if you dole out the speeches piecemeal and just listen every once in a while you’ll get a good heaping of humanist philosophy every few days that’s worth hearing over and over again.
