Happened Yesterday.
I've only read
Slaughterhouse Five and
Breakfast of Champions so far, but the guy was a genius and I've been making it a point to buy more of his books.
In fact, I bought one at lunch today.
Timequake. Pretty much exactly the same time as CNN's news article.
Super freaky. I choose to accept this as more than coincidence.
Anyway, I always thought it was incredible that such an amazing genius of a writer was still alive in this age of garbage literature. He will be sorely missed. Among the last of a dying breed.
