So it goes...Kurt Vonnegut died

[Tom Dunlap]

''When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is 'So it goes'.''

I always wanted to get round to reading 'Slaughterhouse 5'.

Now would seem a good time.

May he rest in a peace he hasn't known since before he was sent to war.

May many others somehow know the ignorance they show when they too beat those drums.

Slaughterhouse 5 is a great book, Breakfast of Champions is good too if you like his style of humor.

Kurt Vonnegut is one of my all-time favorite authors.

The more pain I train myself to stand, the more I learn. You are afraid of pain now, Unk, but you won’t learn anything if you don’t invite the pain. And the more you learn, the gladder you will be to stand the pain.

Interesting he lived in the same neighbourhood as Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22. A coincidence, I'm sure.
