This really fucked with my disposition. Vonnegut was the greatest writer of the second half of the twentieth century. My favorite has to be Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions a close second. Slaughterhouse Five is probably my favorite novel actually... it taught me about mortality, regret, and how to be happy. He is actually the cornerstone of who I want to be as a writer. Now he's finally reunited with his parents, in that place where

"Everything is beautiful, and nothing hurt."

God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut.

Some say that his Sirens of the Titans is better then Slaughterhouse Five. But I can`t be a judge of that since I have yet to read any of his work (allthough I should).

Still, it is always sad when a good writers gets his pen taken away from him by death. Like I said, may he rest in peace.
