Kurt Vonnegut (RIP)

[Going-West]

Rest in peace Kurt Vonnegut, a great author and a great man. If you've never read any of his books, you should do so. I'd recommend Slaughterhouse Five. I don't expect most of you to know who he is, but this is for those who do (1922-2007).

I am a big reader and I couldn't get into Slaughter House Five when I tried to read it a few years ago. I'll probably try and read it again. Maybe I will enjoy it this time around. I have a wierd taste in books though. I hated 1984 and everyone seems to love that novel.

i'm quite particular about what i read... i wouldn't even think to pick up his books.

but, hey, at least we're paying attention to an author's death.
