I have three beautiful sons that are lucky enough to look like their Mother. I spend all of my time with those little bastards.
I'm rated 18th in the World for Competitive Eating. It makes my Mom nervous, she thought I was going to be a Doctor.
I'm embarrassed to say I've never read anything by Kurt Vonnegut -- in fact, I didn't have any idea how revered he was in certain circles until he died.
The guy who writes the "Why I Hate D.C." blog wrote a beautiful post about how the author had impacted him. I need to do some catching up.
szg, Just an image I found on the web the day he died.
d.k., I think the classic story to start with would be 'Slaughter-House Five' which is about his real life experience as a POW in Germany during the fire-bombing of Dresden.
None of his book are very long and I think you'll feel very at home with his philosophy
I don't know who Kurt is, but he's got the right idea -- except that future generations aren't likely to "accept" the apology, understandably.
ReplyDeleteThats MISTER Vonnegut to you!
ReplyDelete:)
Yeah, they will not be kind.
Did you buy this, or just link to it?
ReplyDeleteI was on his site b/f he died and he was selling all kinds of cool stuff.

Thanks, Steak. I'm going to pick it up -- you've piqued my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...sweet, sweet petroleum.
ReplyDeleteI am with d.k.. Heard about Kurt only through other's anecdotes and always wanted to read him. Just haven't taken that opportunity yet.
