Rest In Peace Kurt Vonnegut

Rest in Peace, Kurt Vonnegut. You'll always be what I want to be when I grow up. You were the kindest and one of the funniest writers I've ever had the pleasure to read. You will be greatly missed. Cat's Cradle is one the saddest, most beautiful and funniest books I've read.
