Kurt Vonnegut.
1922-2007.
14 novels.
84 years old.
Fucking brilliant man.
I'm really sad to see him go. He helped me through my middle and high school years, and someday I wanted to meet him.
What was everyone's first Vonnegut novel?
Mine was Breakfast of Champions. I remember reading through it very quickly; I remember used car salesmen, black people making bird calls, and Vonnegut walking around in his own book.
Hail, hail to the best satirist of the 20th century.

My first Vonnegut books was Slaughter House 5. I didn't get it when I first read it, but I still thought it was amazing. Now looking back I marvel at how a book more or less about alien abduction could be such a poignent examination effects war has on men.
