Bad bad news

I'd say rest in peace, or we'll miss you, but i'm too sad

Ow. I had 'Slaughterhouse Five' on my reading list for ages now, based on many many recommendations from friends. A shame I will only read it after the author has passed on now

By all accounts I've heard, a fine writer.

God bless him? I think they'll have to kiss and make up first.

That brings back memories. We red him at school in English special course.

I think he probably realizes now that he was wrong!

Read Slaughterhouse Five, and see the movie, if nothing else. "My name is Billy Pilgrim, and I've come unstuck in time".
