My Favorite Writer, Kurt Vonnegut, Has Died. And So It Goes!

I heard the sad news this morning on the radio that my favorite writer, Kurt Vonnegut, died yesterday at the age of 84.

God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut!  You were a major influence on me when I decided to pursue writing as a profession and not just as a hobby.  I enjoyed reading your novels starting with Cat's Cradle back when I was in high school.  I told you that when I met you in 1995 at the First Annual Writer's Festival at the Boston Center for Adult Education.  It was great to shake your hand and tell you that I loved your lecture.

I read his last book, Man Without a Country, and enjoyed it.

RIP, Kurt!

Writers Praise Kurt Vonnegut!
