So it goes

[KathrynTheGreat]

When a certain humanist spoke at a certain other humanist's funeral, he said, "Isaac is in heaven now." Which, of course, was the funniest thing you could say to a crowd of humanists. And now it's the funniest thing I can say in memory of an author who has meant so much to me.

Kurt Vonnegut is in Heaven now.

I remember thinking Timequake was a kind of depressing goodbye, and that was ten years ago.

You know these things are coming, the man was 84 years old after all, but it's always a shock when it happens. RIP Mr. Vonnegut, one of the true heroes in my life.

Stolen from The Guardian:

As Vonnegut's writing career went on, his critical reception declined. "I have to keep reminding myself that I wrote those early books", he admitted. "I wrote that. I wrote that. The only way I can regain credit for my early work is - to die."

Funny guy.

oops i scanned for "vonnegut" and thought no one else posted it, so i started a new thread.

2 favorite quotes:

"'And Heil Hitler to you, sir,' said Eliot smiling, 'and good-bye.'"

"'Hippity hop,' said Eliot emptily."

I've never grown a lulu pube.
But I'll always be searching for one thanks to Kurt.

he made my senior year of highschool tolerable and is the only reason i went to my 8th period class - we were reading god bless you mr. rosewater. so he's actually the reason i graduate highschool. probably. he really is my favorite writer though. i feel sad.
