RIP Kurt Vonnegut

[Max Powers]

Kurt Vonnegut died at the age of 84 early this morning. He was always one of my favorite authors, despite being so off the wall, and he was definitely one of my inspirations to pursue a career in teaching english. Though he was a bit off the wall at times, he has written some amazing books that have stood the test of time.

Ah, ya... author of Cat's Cradle. An interesting read - a pretty grim outlook on the advancement of technology and science, but an interesting read nonetheless.

RIP

Always good for a super-sarcastic, I-yam-what-I-yam laugh.

RIP, Kurt. Too bad the teacher gave you a C on your own paper in Back to School.

Man that's sad, I loved reading his books and he was one of my favorite authors.

Slaughterhouse 5 is one of the best books I ever read in high school. Since I liked that one so much, I read Man Without A Country, a recent book he made shortly before he died. It was quite good, which shows that he stuck to his roots and never strayed away from his subjects like satire and others.

RIP
