There is this very interesting American author called Kurt Vonnegut whose work I have just recently picked up on. I found a copy of a book called Slaughterhouse Five when I was last at the library, and despite the fact that it was only published about 7 years ago, which is usually not really long ago enough for me to give it proper consideration, as it has not truly withstood the test of time, I picked it up based on a personal recommendation. The first part had some very interesting personal thoughts regarding the bombing of Dresden, which was an event in muggle history that has truly not been discussed to the full extent which the author seems to feel that it should be. He seems to believe that the destruction was more terrible and more extensive than the bombing of Hiroshima, and that few people really realize this. I have yet to finish the book or discover what he bases these opinions on, but I am thinking about picking up another book on the subject. I feel rather uninformed about the subject.
Oh, and apparently, some band Sirius likes reads Tolkien. Led Zeppelin, I think it was. How peculiar.
I hope all of you are doing well, and I anticipate seeing you when school is back in session.
Sincerely,
Remus Lupin
