Farewell to an extraordinary human...

This is a ludicrously belated farewell to Kurt Vonnegut Jr. who, as most of you probably know, died on April 11. He will be sorely missed.




Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

~Kurt Vonnegut, A Man without a Country

I had to read "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" for my english requirement at Uni (I took Literature and Technology).
I must admit it was a very odd book. I didn't understand what it was about, or what it's point was.

I haven't bothered to read anything else of his since.

But it's still a loss of a great talent.
