Thanks for the thread Jo. I am so sad that he isn't here in person anymore, but he will always be around.

So, he goes...

Thanks for the links.

I've read some novels of him, in Chinese or English. And I feel he has become a definite component of my youth. Frankly, reading Vonnegut for Chinese students in this age is not so different from that of American generation in the 60s, 70s.

Sad his death may be. But as msolga said, it was good for him, with all things considered.

Then it was good. Farewell, Mr.Vonnegut

A beloved treasure...saw him on Jon Stewart maybe a year ago with his last book...forgot the name of it, but bought it and loved it. I am sure its under a stack somewhere around here!!!

"We should be kind to each other."...."and so it goes..." I loved him.

Noddy and Ossobuco...good to see you too! I have been waaaay too busy with life. I missed Timberlandko's passing and just read the whole tribute to him. I didn't read what happened with his son in Iraq...do any of you know? He was so kind...even when you disagreed with him, you knew he was a gentleman and I often told him so.

I miss many of you here...I have my daughter and grandchildren that have moved in with me and Grandpa....we are busier than we thought we would be at 65 and 75 respectively! We are blessed and also very tired...often don't get on the Internet...and when we do we read blogs or newspapers.

I miss you wonderful A to K people very much.... You are my family too.
