Another Addition To The Diner Wall Of Fame

A couple of weeks back, author Kurt Vonnegut fell and sustained serious injuries. Yesterday he passed away from some of the results of those injuries. He was 84, and as his photo goes up on the wall today, in tribute, let's all read a few pages from our old paperback copies of Cat's Cradle and/or Slaughterhouse Five. What? You don't have them? You should run, not walk, to your local large-chain retailer of books, head towards their "classics" section and pick up and add them to your permanent library. You won't regret it.

And, as an added tribute, when anyone, and I mean anyone, says that he "recycles" characters, butchers punctuation & other literary conventions, or that his works are "incomprehensible," roll your eyes, smirk, and walk away...but feel sorry that their high school or college English lit professor wasn't intelligent enough to grasp it.
