    Vonnegut

    To borrow from the man, "Kurt is in heaven now."

    RIP, one of the great American writers, humanists, and men. So it goes.

    I saw that this morning. Too bad. I read some of his stuff back in high school and really enjoyed it.

        someone who believes in and promotes the idea of humanism. It can also mean and academic "jack of all trades."

                Hearing that news made me sad.

                Slaughterhouse 5 is one of my favorite books of all time.

                But as he would say, "so it goes."

                    Why were you shocked? He was 84. That's what happens when you get old.

                    His books are some of the best I've read.

                      RIP.

                      grew up reading his books.

                      ...ever in the continual search of time dilation.
