Timequake - Kurt Vonnegut

You don’t read Vonnegut for elegant, structured plots, but Timequake is even more ramshackle than most. Nevertheless there is some glorious stuff here, including a blinding gag with the punchline “Ting a ling you sonofabitch” and the timeless zinger “If your brains were TNT, there wouldn’t be enough to blow your hat off”.

Pointless, in the best possible way.
