My hero died yesterday. As you lit lovers have probably heard, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. left this world at the age of 84 due to "irreversible brain injuries." It's the first time anyone I worship has slipped away and it's left a bit of a shadow over my day. I want to give him a fitting tribute on this book blog, but what can I possibly say that would give the credit due to such an incredible force? I can only say I hope he left life remembering his famous epitaph:

“EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND NOTHING HURT.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five

Rest in peace, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I will treasure every one of your words, always.
