The world has lost a great writer
I was saddened to read that Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday in New York at age 84. He was one of my favorite writers from a (somewhat) young age. I remember the Librarian (I’m almost positive his name was Tim Holmes, but I can’t find him…) in the small town I where grew up recommending one of his books, but the first time I really became interested in his work was when I bought a used copy of “Cat’s Cradle“. The book had chapters which were very short (one or two pages) and I couldn’t stop reading…I kept saying, just one more chapter.
On the Wikipedia page, Vonnegut himself rates Cat’s Cradle as A plus, and I definitely agree.
