Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut died last night. I always liked his overtly science fiction novels like Cat's Cradle. For a lot of snobby types, Vonnegut is a great gateway author to the smarter side of science fiction. suspect many boys get their introduction to Vonnegut through the scatological drawings in Breakfast of Champions. It's been ages, but I recall loving the short story collection Welcome to the Monkey House.

I guess now might be the time to pick up Timequake, which I meant to read some time back.
