Kurt Vonnegut 1922 - 2007

This is devastating news to me. He was, simply, my favorite author during my adolescent years. If you could wrap your head around a Vonnegut novel, you could see into his mind and understand how he was thinking. Not all of his books were easy reads, but never put a book of his down without feeling somehow exercised mentally. Kurt, you will be sorely missed.
