reading (Glapagos)

I finished Kurt Vonnegut's "Galapagos" this evening. I enjoyed the book and found myself sucked into it pretty thoroughly. Part of that is because I really enjoy reading about the strange animals that inhabit the Galapagos islands. I did find the foretelling a bit tiresome. At first I thought it was a bit clever and oh, so artsy, and I thoroughly understood the device. But it was just too much and for me lessened the enjoyment of the book. I did like how Vonnegut played the evolution model for all it was worth in choosing the setting and drawing the result. But he did go a long way to get there.
