So it goes.

I really only starting reading Vonnegut recently. A fresh copy of Sirens of Titan sits on my desk waiting for me to finish my current book.

Awh no. I wonder if Kilgore Trout is dead too?

I loved his books; particularly loved Slaugherhouse Five, found TimeQuake fascinating, and had almost finished Player Piano before I had to return it.

So many inspirational and witty quotes, probably my favourite though:

I want to stay as close as I can to the edge.
Out on the edge, you can see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
--Kurt Vonnegut, RIP.

Also he did not die this morning, he died yesterday - Wednesday 11th.

Ah RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Loved his work. Bluebeard was my favourite (I think) despite beng very very different from his other books.
