"When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life; old age is more like a semicolon."
So it goes. And what a way to end an era. :( He was truly an instrumental and wonderful novelist and author. Rest in piece. (And read his works!) http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/12/arts/web-0412obit.php http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070412/ap_on_...s/obit_vonnegut |

End of an era, indeed. He's what inspired me to get into books. Not just read them, but completely engross myself in them.

I kind of believed his perception of death and time (minus the aliens) in Slaughterhouse-5. Does that make me crazy?
