Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who wrote "Slaughterhouse Five" among many other great books, has died at the age of 84 from brain injuries which he sustained in a fall at his Manhattan home

Yes, a great person has passed away today... One of the finest, if not the finest American authors of the last century dies, and all we hear in the news is Don Imus... Back to the topic, I really liked his novels, and today is a very sad day, because someone great has left us.

To tell the truth, I'm not even sure what books he's written, I'm thinking either Catch 22, Cat's Cradle, or that one with the dystopian book burning thing, the name escapes me.

Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
Dystopia book-burning - Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut

Seriously people, read some, he's an amazing author...
