Warning: Melancholy ahead

So long Kurt Vonnegut.
You gave me much to laugh about and think about. Your books helped me feel that my own life was perhaps not so nutty. You expanded my vocabulary. You helped me connect with my brother when I was young and perhaps had little else in common with him.
I'll be adding your books to my reading list once again.
Rest in peace.

I concur with all you have writtern...even the brother thing. Tom and I would laugh together about things we had found in Kurt's books. Now, I too, want to read them all again. So many books, so little time. The world has lost a treasure! Thanks Kurt....blessings to you.

I love Kurt. We just bought his newest book at Prairie Lights. I'm sad that he's gone.
