Kurt Vonnegut, one of the - if not THE- greatest authors of all time has died today at the age of 84. I'm sure he is resting in peace.
If you have never heard of him, you need to get familiar with his work. I reccomend Cat's Cradle or Slaughterhouse Five. He has been my favourite author since the first time I picked up one of his books. I now own all of them and have read them all twice.
He was a brilliant free-thinker and 'religious skeptic'. He definitely deserved the respect he received in his lifetime.You can read the article on MSN about his life here

I would definitely reccomend taking some time out to remember such a great man today.
