So it goes.by *Sairobi

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, “It might have been.”

Steve is half-serious when he tells Bruce that he’s sixty years behind on his reading, but it’s still a surprise when Bruce dumps a pile of books on his lap two hours later. Steve holds one up, confused — they’re all by the same author. Bruce just smiles and says he thinks Steve’ll like them. They’re about the war. Sort of.

Later, he’ll think that’s a roundabout way to put it. Later, he’ll suspect that they weren’t chosen on their historical or literary merit; that Bruce knew he’d understand what they say about the human heart, and what it means to become unstuck in time.

I loved the image at first glace, and your caption just made it even more brilliant and beautiful.

He's totally reading Jailbird.

One of the few Vonnegut novels I haven't gotten around to!

~JansonKlivian-4-pres Jul 25, 2012

This is perfect; the artwork and the little story.

Thank you so much! One night I got to thinking about what books I'd give to someone who missed the latter half of the twentieth century and this was the result.

Love it quite a bit, thanks.
