[Jos] If anyone hasn't seen yet, I'm afraid that other great author is no more.
[Case] Kurt Vonnegut was just about my favorite author. In fact I tend to judge everyone I read in his light. Tom Robbins, Carl Hiassen, Tom Wolfe, Harry Crews, all share Vonnegut's slightly twisted outlook and his gift for irony. I quit reading his novels after Breakfast of Champions for two reasons. First I thought he was slipping and second to save them for later in life since he was not writing fast enough. Enough time has passed by now that it might be time to start over and read them all again. This seems to be the only advantage I have yet to find in having a crappy memory. If you have not read any of them I recommend "Cat's Cradle" as a starter. Here is a little Vonnegut gem I found in his obit on CNN: "We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard ... and too damn cheap," he once suggested carving into a wall on the Grand Canyon, as a message for flying-saucer creatures." He was one of the greats. He will be sorely missed. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
