Bokononism: a fictional religion based on harmless untruths

Cat's Cradle was the only book that was required reading in high school that I actually liked, and it's still one of my favourites. As a result I've read just about every one of Vonnegut's books.

Vonnegut is great - I guess Cat's Cradle is another book to add to my to-read list.

Never read the book here, or any Vonnegut. It seems like some satire might be underway, but a little into the description of the words, I felt this wasn't teaching me anything. Is this here for more reason than just nostalgia?
