    Indeed. Damn, we keep losing the great ones. I remember reading Cats Cradle when it came out. Mind blowing. Slaughterhouse-Five; or, The Children’s Crusade was such a trip. From Time's review in 1969:

    "For Vonnegut, man's worst folly is a persistent attempt to adjust, smoothly, rationally, to the unthinkable"

    And we still do it. Another genius gone. Rest if you must, but enjoy... wherever you are, Kurt.
