RIP:KURT VONNEGUT

 "Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation, died Wednesday night in Manhattan. He was 84."
 
 And another icon from my past gone...
 
Really enjoyed reading his stuff when I was in high school; Cat's Cradle, Sirens Of Titan, Breakfast Of Champions, Player Piano, from what  I remember, probably others. An interesting writer, with a
uniquie point of view, though probably not as well known now as he was in the 60s-70s.
