Re: Galapagos

In my quest to read everything that Vonnegut has ever written, I came accross a novel called "Galapagos". There are several similarities between this book and Lost. I don't think that my summary will fail to do it justice but here is the wikipedia link: nevermind, I can't post a link so go to wikipedia and look it up yourselves.
What this leaves out is an invention called Mandarax, which can instantaneously translate several languages at once and diagnose over 1000 ailments by asking series of questions, a frieghter, and a Peruvian pilot named Guillermo Reyes. It's got an apocolypse of sorts, brought on by a plague of infertality, and is told by an omnipotent narrator who is watching from 1 million years in the future. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Sounds good, i'll check it out.

I've read a couple Vonnegut books because i heard he was really influential on Darlton. I read Slaughterhouse-five, which draws so many comparisons to Lost it is staggering, and Mother Night, which is about a Nazi war criminal.
