Rest in peace, Kurt Vonnegut.

I only read one of his books--"Galapagos." But I enjoyed it a great deal.

I never read that one. My favorites were Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Sirens of Titan, and Slaughterhouse Five.

My favorite was Mother Night.

He changed how I think as a young person. RIP.

OMG! That's horrible.

He was a great writer and a very wise man. It's sad that he will never see us get out of this mess.

I suppose Slaughterhouse-Five was his masterwork. I remember being not at all thrilled with Welcome to the Monkey House, which was the last Vonnegut I read -- that "Hi ho" catchphrase plucked at my temper even as a college sophomore. I haven't cracked the covers on a Vonnegut since -- a lot of his material did not age well.
