"Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer. So it goes." - pg. 167
I just love the nature of this book. I love how it talks about this man named Kilgore Trout. I think I might have been interested in the crazy ideas of this writer. He seems to be very creative, though weak at writing. I just laugh at some of his story lines like the one above. I appreciate the humor despite his odd character. This is one of the reasons I loved the book. I just couldn't handle the awesome creativity it held! I'm jealous!
I think that through his ridiculous stories, Trout is able to reveal the truths and flaws about society that other people are sometimes afraid to point out. Plus it adds humor.
