Kurt Vonnegut

I am not sure why, but I have this really sad feeling deep inside me because of Kurt Vonnegut's death. I always knew this day would come but it was very unexpected. Yes he was 84, yes he was very successful, yes he was the best Author ever but I never got to meet him. I really would have loved to meet him. I have read a few of his books and my favorite by far is Slaughterhouse-Five. I am more of a chick lit person, but Vonnegut's books always make me think and question the things around me, laugh really hard, and I always get so involved with the character.

He was an amazing writer and will be missed.


A Sample.

I was those seeds,
I am this meat,
This meat hates pain,
This meat must eat.
This meat must sleep,
This meat must dream,
This meat must laugh,
This meat must scream,
But when as meat,
It's had it's fill
Please plant it as
A Daffodil

From Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick
