RIP

NEW YORK (AP) - Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84.
Vonnegut, who often marveled that he had lived so long despite his lifelong smoking habit, had suffered brain injuries after a fall at his Manhattan home weeks ago, said his wife, photographer Jill Krementz.

I heard about this this morning.

It's sad. Especially since I'm wrapping up Breakfast Of Champions. :[

But he was 84. He was bound to bite the dust sometime.

RIP.

Your literature will be missed.
