So it goes

A very moving picture on his site (which will no longer be there someday (so i've reproduced it for you here)
The guy who gave me something to think and his novels were deep.
When I first read cat's cradle 10 years ago, it was just another humourous story.
Someone recommended it to me as science fiction. Only later did I realise the implied sarcasm. And then I read Slaughterhouse-Five. One of the foremost anti-war books.

And just 2 days ago, I was telling a friend that I was looking for a cheap copy of Slaughterhouse-Five. And today I read in the newspapers.
Now bookstores will organise retrospectives. I hope there is a discount sale too

And do try wikipedia

And do read the books.
