Kurt Vonnegut is dead. all americans should mourn the loss of one of our greats today. if you haven't read his work, then do so now. drop what you're doing, go to the library, and check out Slaughterhouse Five. or Cat's Cradle. or Breakfast of Champions. or any of the other 10 or so novels he's written. do yourself this favor. i just finished reading A Man Without A Country last month. his last book. it's sad for me to think that there will be nothing more to look forward to from him. sad, sad, sad.
