LAZY_R.I.P.
I only read Mother Night and Slaughterhouse-Five but I enjoyed them, particularly Mother Night. I'm glad he didn't kill himself like every other writer.

Wow. This is sad news indeed. He is my favorite author, and I have read everything he has written.

i've read only Cat's Cradle, in English. didn't become a fan of the author, seemed just not a bad book.

For some reason I thought he was dead anyway. Ah well, never again will we have a story about a spaceship full of jizz.

Yes. Aside from the occasional short story that didn't appear in one of his collections. I can't say I am too proud of it either. Timequake and Palm Sunday were extremely boring.

That said, most of his books are great. I mean I am not proud about reading Palm Sunday.
