Another Shock Over Coffee…
Kurt Vonnegut: 1922-2007
It (almost) never fails when discussing favourite authors, that I discover that pretty much everybody on the planet has heard of Kurt Vonnegut, but if pressed hard enough, will eventually admit that they never actually read anything by Kurt Vonnegut.
Come on, really?! Slaughterhouse 5 was assigned reading in one of my high-school english classes! How could you not have read anything by Vonnegut?! No, you can’t use “he was censored at my school”. That should have made you want to read him more.
Do yourself a big favour and go buy any one of his books. Read it. Then you won’t have to lie about it later (and no fair watching Bruce Willis movies instead, cheaters!).

Way to make me feel like a loser! I’ve only read the short story “Harrison Bergeron,” which is fabulous. None of the books, though. There are a lot of “classics” that I haven’t gotten around to yet.
I did love his cameo in “Back to School.”
