You haven’t lived until you laughed out loud while reading a Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. novel.  Every time I pass through Cohoes, New York, I think of Kilgore Trout and how much I enjoy reading Vonnegut.

I was sad to find out today that he passed away yesterday.   If you haven’t read any of his novels, I suggest starting off with one of my favorites, "Breakfast of Champions."  I’ve read everyone of his novels, and he never disappointed.

Here is an article about Vonnegut’s death in The Guardian Unlimited and one from Online Newshour from PBS.com.

Honor one of the greatest writers of our time by reading one of his novels.  You won’t regret it.

So it goes . . . .
