Kurt Vonnegut dies

[Lies and Perfidy]

Passed away of brain injuries incurred from a fall weeks ago.

Now that is a fucking bummer.

 

[NAD]

Sucks.

Now only one of my favorite authors is still alive.

 

[Mormagil]

There aren't many people like him left in the world.

 

[NAD]

gOD FUCKING dammit I always forget that's your new name, Pyrus. Every time I come here I check your profile thinking "who is this dude? OH."

The force is dumb in this one.

[JayKeeley]

yeah I read it in the paper this morning. I felt genuinely sad too. I only read Slaughterhouse about 6 months ago...

 

[Demonspell]

One of my heroes, and easily one of the most original thinkers this country has produced...RIP.

 

[NAD]

I have Galapagos and The Sirens of Titan waiting in my To Read list, he's one of the few authors that I'll probably read all their works someday. Nabokov, Rushdie, Tolkien, and Kerouac being the others.

He's one of the VERY few authors to get me to audibly laugh out loud while reading. Hilarious dude.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I think I've only read Slaughterhouse 5 and The Sirens of Titan. I need to get to the others. Hell, I should also read both of those again.

 

[unknown]

seriously...one of the most gifted writers of the 20th century.

 

[JayKeeley]

yeah but total stoner trippy stuff. As much as I liked Slaughterhouse 5, I really wish I had read it when I was 20 and at college. Still, it's a must read either way.

 

[circus_brimstone]

Yeah, very sad.

Of his books I've read several: Player Piano, Cat's Cradle, Welcome to the Monkey House, Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, Galapagos, Wampeters, Foma, and Granfalloons, Timequake, Hocus Pocus, A Man Without a Country.

 

[Chromatose]

his tombstone should just say:

[NAD]

his tombstone should just say:

heehee, yeah.

 

[Crimson Death]

so it goes men, so it goes.

a great man has left to the plains and whatever boon he gave the world he must've taken with him.

was engaged with cat's cradle when I heard.
