It is with sadness that I awoke this morning to find that my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut, has passed away.
In addition to a humorous appearance in the Rodney Dangerfield movie “Back to School”, Vonnegut was a brilliant author. “Cat’s Cradle” is my favorite book of all time, and “Slaughterhouse Five” and “Breakfast of Champions (or Goodbye Blue Monday)”.
While I don’t think this is the greatest of obituaries, You can read more about his life in this article in the New York Times.
