RIP Kurt Vonnegut

[Sad Max]

Kurt Vonnegut passed away today at the too-young age of 84.

Bummer, bummer, bummer.

Bummer.

DAMN! never got to meet him....


Never got to meet Hunter Thompson either....... DAmmit......

 

[David Jimerson]

A singular talent, that one.

Tough to discuss his work without getting political, though!

What a shame. Slaughterhouse-Five was one of my favorite books.

What a shame. Slaughterhouse-Five was one of my favorite books.

Why isn't it anymore?

 

[NO CA$H]

Thats horrible news. SlaughterHouse Five was the first book I ever read.

Another one of my heroes bites the dust. Even though his later works never equalled his masterpieces, they were all good reads. It's a bummer to know that there will be no more Vonnegut novels. R.I.P. Kurt.

 

[Jeremy Ordan]

A singular talent, that one.

Completely agree. When I sat down with my paper this morning I was in complete shock...

 

[Chris Messineo]

He was my all time favorite author. I will miss his writing dearly.
