Kurt Vonnegut Leaves the Monkey House

[El Dingo]

Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84

This is truly a sad day. I haven't felt this bad since the day John Belushi died.

Kurt's novels and stories were amazingly thought-provoking, entertaining and original. I just reread 'Slapstick' a couple months ago and was pleased that it holds up just as well today as the day it was published.

Hi Ho.

Time to read my other favorites. Oh wait - that's all of them.

How cool was it to see him as a tutor in Back to School?

The icons are falling around us. What are we to do?

Become our own icons.

Did Kurt's brother ever hang out at Maggimoto castle 2.0?

A good list.
