Very few writers held my attention like Kurt did. Once you have started one of his books, you don't stop until you have finished it. Once you read one of his books, you will not be satisfied until you have read them all.....What a mind.....

a paperback Player Piano shelved
on a wall in a second hand store.
a weathered copy of Slapstick that
I've read three times, maybe four.
three times...maybe four.

your writings have altered me sir,
in the most subtle and grandiose ways.
Deadeye Dick makes me laugh out loud
remembering back to a favorite phrase.

your stories have helped me grow
by providing me a mental nest.
God bless you Mr. Vonnegut,
you're a cut above the rest.

I started my life as a baby, but Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s writing forced me to grow. It educated me and inspires me. For the listed religion on my dog-tags, was Bokononist. Kurt I shed a tearok many tearsfor your suffering and the loss. Your memory will live on in all of your friends, family, and readers.

"I was the victim of a series of accidents, as are we all." These are some of the words I have lived by, since I first read 'Sirens...' m ore than 30 years ago. Thanks for giving so many of us the framework for navigating through this dimension. Barry Everett

I had the good fortune to hear Mr. Vonnegut speak at my college in the 70's. Although he was expecting to speak to a small English Lit class and not a full auditorium, he was gracious and shared his wit and unique perspective with some 100 struggling English majors in New Jersey. His books continue to astound me.

Kurt Vonnegut was one of the people I admired most in this world. He had great depth, intelligence and compassion along with a wonderful sense of humor. His books will always be front and center on my bookshelf.

Heard him speak when he visited campus in the late 60's. Cat's Cradle led to a fascination with books that show the lighter side of the end of the world.

This was a coming of age book for me in the late 70's. I can remember being a "bimmy" (kitchen worker) in sleepaway camp, and borrowing SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE from one of the older college guys sharing our bunk. Who said there was "nothing intelligent to say about a massacre?"
