If you guys have not read Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut (finished it this week), you should.
Its about the evolution of the human species over the next million years turning on very specific events in Ecuador in the year 1986, and the common ancestor of all future humanity.
In his unique style, of course.
- RockofStrength 14y agoThat one is Vonnegut's sleeper masterpiece - the choice of narrator was especially clever. How can you have a narrator narrate a million-year-spanning story? Vonnegut figured it out.
- everlost 14y agoAnother good read is "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia. Its about the birth and death of an entire family line, flowing through the wars, migrations and incest that revolved around it (atleast thats my interpretation :)).
