Saying goodbye to Kurt Vonnegut

It's a very sad thing to me. Vonnegut was one of the first writers who really made an impression on me as a young person. I guess I'll put aside my current reading for a while and re-read my favourite, 'Sirens of Titan'

Slaughterhouse Five is was and will be one of my all time fav's.

My wife gave me "A Man Without a Country" for my birthday this past February. It had been awhile since I had read any Vonnegut (been a favorite of mine since junior high), and it reminded me of how much he had shaped my opinions and outlook on life. Quite a shame that he had to leave us . . .

I have never read any of his books! Perhaps I'm one of the few. I'm thinking that maybe It's time I should pick up one of his books.

And so it goes.

Right there with you, now if I could only find my copy.
