Kurt Vonnegut Dead

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.

how sad. a great writer. at least he was old and lived a
full life etc.

wierd thing is im halfway through Timequake for the second
time at the moment, coincidental.

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

yeah, but he's an insane recluse who might as well be dead.

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.
