I remember when I first read Breakfast of Champions, I can honestly say that it changed my life. Vonnegut's wit, humanism, and critical thought couched in slapstick humor, showed me that you don't have to be uptight to be just and that you don't have to be a prick to be conservative. He taught me to always look below the surface and that sometimes luck is just that. I've read all his books and will probably read them all again. He is one of the only authors that I can read again and again. I am sad that there will be no new books written by him, but he is not dead. He lives in his books and in the souls of all who have or will read them. Twenty Three Skidoo Kurt.
