Kurt Vonnegut died last night. My brother came into my room and showed me the NY Times. I couldn't speak, I just started crying. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/books/12vonnegut.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp "Life is no way to treat an animal."
Kurt could write. Not like that Harry Potter chick, Kurt forced you to examine things. RIP my unmet friend.
I'm usually not too saddened by someone's passing, especially at old age... but Kurt still had so much in him, he could still publish a million more books. He's one of my favorite authors... I feel like I know him through his books, like I have some sort of unspoken connection to him. Still, let us celebrate his life and his amazing books. I have 5 books of his left to read, all of them are sitting next to me on my desk... it's sad to think that those 5 books are going to be my last experiences of such a marvelous author. Hi ho.
Exactly, same here. I red that he fell of the stairs though and that caused his death in the end. That's sad of course.
i didnt know much about him guys could you refer to his best work so i feel connected. Even so my thoughts and prayers are with him and his fam
I agree, he just had this way of writing where you felt you knew him... And now I feel like I've lost someone dear to me.
