Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
November 11, 1922 - April 11, 2007

I'm sure both Liam and Ethan are especially saddened by the loss of this great author, who died from injuries after a fall at his home. Many are a fan of his works, and Kurt has rightly earned notoriety for his writing style and his quirky sense of humour. He will be missed..

We love comments at dovka. In fact, we take these comments and put them into a big stew. They're so full of internetty goodness that they keep us full up until lunchtime.

I was about to post this. He was my favourite author by a huge mile and I'm very much saddened by the news.

Kilgore Trout actully died at the age of 84… spookey.

I'm going to go home tonight and read me some Kurt. Now that he is dead, it is the hip thing to do! Just wait for all the kids to jump on the wagon. :(

Also, that is a great choice of picture, Jonstze.

So it goes.

By Tralfamadorian philosophy you shouldn't be sad, because he is still very much alive in other moments.
