His brilliant thoughts and prose left a lifelong indelible impression on me. His writing is some of the finest produced in the 20th century.

He has no replacement. RIP

Oh, I hadn't heard this news. I still remember all the Kurt Vonnegut required reading in high school; interesting stuff.

I've never heard of him...but I did a search and found this quote that I liked very much...

Quote:

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
Kurt Vonnegut
